CFD Fire Smoke Modelling Canada
Fire and smoke modeling provides a means to validate and test the performance of smoke control and management systems in atria and smoke spread in a building. Objective-Based and Performance-Based Codes allow for innovative designs. Design flexibility provided the design can demonstrate the performance criteria of the respective standards such as the National Construction Code of Australia, NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, NFPA 92 Standard for Smoke Control Systems, and Canada Fire and Life Safety Code of Practice. Fire and smoke modeling has also supported alternative solution design for the National Building Code of Canada, Ontario Building Code, Alberta Building Code, and British Columbia Building Code.
Vortex Fire has a team of specialists working with clients and building officials to demonstrate compliance using engineering analysis, validations, and CFD studies. Our team of building code and fire safety engineering professionals has extensive knowledge of fire engineering principles, smoke control and management principles, and life and fire safety principles. In addition, our team is well versed in using various cutting-edge fire and smoke simulation software to provide alternative solutions to the prescribed acceptable solutions in the Building Codes.

At Vortex Fire, we bring national-level expertise in CFD Fire and Smoke Modelling to help engineers, architects, and developers address fire safety design challenges throughout Canada. Our solutions are tailored for prescriptive and alternative designs, aligning with the specific fire protection objectives code authorities require.
Our Fire and Smoke CFD Consulting services are particularly valuable for projects requiring customized smoke management systems, such as high-rise buildings, atria, underground facilities, and large commercial complexes. By applying Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), we simulate real-world fire scenarios and assess how smoke moves through complex geometries to ensure occupant tenability and system performance.
With extensive experience in CFD Fire Modelling Canada, we support compliance strategies and approvals under the National Building Code of Canada, working closely with authorities and code reviewers.
We also collaborate directly with CFD Fire Department Canada teams, helping streamline approvals and coordinate fire safety plans during the design phase. Our engineers prepare advanced modeling reports that aid decision-making and confirm life safety strategies.
Whether your project is located in Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, or elsewhere across Canada, Vortex Fire can deliver trusted CFD Fire Modelling Canada support backed by deep technical experience.
