Fundamentals of Fire Dynamics in Buildings and Pyrosim (FDS) Training

12 Professional Development Hours

After participating in this course, you will be able to:

  • Analyze fire dynamics principles and their impact on fire spread within building environments.
  • Use PyroSim to simulate fire scenarios, focusing on heat transfer, smoke movement, and fire growth.
  • Evaluate simulation results to assess potential fire risks and design effective safety measures.
  • Develop fire safety strategies and evacuation plans informed by dynamic simulation data.
  • Apply fire dynamics insights to enhance fire prevention and control strategies in real-world settings.

Description
Understanding fire dynamics within buildings is essential for professionals safeguarding lives and assets. This course delves into the principles of fire behaviour, covering key aspects such as combustion processes, heat transfer, and smoke movement. Participants will learn how these factors influence fire spread and occupant safety within various building layouts, providing them with the knowledge to make informed decisions in fire risk assessment and safety planning.

With practical exercises and real-world simulations, participants will gain hands-on experience using PyroSim software for modelling fire dynamics in diverse building environments. They will learn to set up and run simulations, analyze fire growth, and interpret results to develop effective fire safety strategies. The course integrates theory with simulation practice, enabling participants to apply fire dynamics principles through realistic scenarios.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to model fire behaviour, assess smoke hazards, and evaluate evacuation strategies, contributing to a safer built environment. This training is ideal for professionals aiming to enhance their fire dynamics and fire safety planning capabilities through advanced simulation techniques.

Who Should Attend
This course is ideal for professionals responsible for fire safety, risk management, and facility operations in commercial and industrial settings. Facility managers, engineers, and supervisors will better understand fire dynamics and learn practical simulation skills to enhance safety measures. Engineers involved in building design and systems engineering and plant operation and maintenance staff will find the training invaluable for assessing fire risks and improving safety protocols.

Architects, building safety consultants, and emergency response planners will also benefit from the advanced fire modelling techniques covered, gaining insights into effective evacuation planning and hazard assessment. Fire prevention officers, safety auditors, and insurance risk assessors can also apply these skills to support safer building designs and data-informed safety decisions. This training is suited for anyone seeking to elevate their expertise in fire dynamics and simulation technology for more resilient and safer built environments.
