N2  - Klassen et al. recently published a comprehensive study examining the radiant energy transmission properties and breakage properties of multi-pane glazing. That work was conducted at the bequest of code officials who wanted to understand the implications of stipulations in the building and fire codes on safety and weigh these against the need to maximize the construction investment. The present paper reviews the past and current work on the interaction of fire and glazings and also discusses the need for enhanced interaction between code development committees and the fire research community.<p />
