An 18% increase in fire related injuries has been observed in Canada in the last five years. Smoke not fire itself**results in injury and casualty most times. Improper evacuation is also a factor in injury. There is, as a result,**pressure to create technologies that can be used to implement performance-based fire design solutions for**proper evacuation in the event of a fire. To achieve this, the potential effects of smoke on occupant evacuation**need to be correctly understood and then implemented into evacuation software. Jensen Hughes, the industry**partner, has a need for an improved understanding of smoke's effect on occupant egress times and a subsequent**need to develop modelling technologies for use in their design of Canadian built infrastructure. Our research**objective is to work with them to develop these technologies.

在过去的五年里，加拿大与火灾有关的伤害增加了18%。大多数情况下，烟而不是火本身 ** 会导致伤害和伤亡。不适当的疏散也是受伤的一个因素。因此，有压力创造技术，可用于实施基于性能的消防设计解决方案，以便在发生火灾时进行适当的疏散。为了实现这一目标，需要正确理解烟雾对人员疏散的潜在影响，然后将其应用到疏散软件中。行业合作伙伴詹森休斯需要更好地了解烟雾对乘客疏散时间的影响，随后需要开发建模技术，用于加拿大建筑基础设施的设计。我们的研究目标是与他们合作开发这些技术。
