British Columbia Chapter of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers

This seminar briefly reviews some of the changes in the relevant for fire suppression Standards from the current Building Code referenced Standards to the latest Standards issued by NFPA.

Vancouver, BC

This seminar will cover the theory and practice behind the use of fire modelling and fire engineering principles to address issues in building design. Compartment fire behaviour, as well as design fires and fire test specification will be reviewed. Then a variety of fire modeling and engineering analysis methods that can be used in support of performance based design will be outlined, including a brief introduction to some common fire modelling software. Concepts will be supplemented with examples and case studies throughout the session. To avoid cancellation of this seminar, please register before May 6th.

This workshop will introduce you to Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), which is a computational fluid dynamics program designed specifically for Fire Protection practitioners. FDS, and its accompanying graphics program Smokeview, provide a field model with extremely powerful graphics that can be run on a PC. The hands-on format will demonstrate the breadth and depth of FDS by examining a number of fire modelling scenarios. It will be useful for those who are considering using FDS in their professional practice and those who review proposals based upon FDS models.
