Abstract: This paper presents developments related to the integration of computational fluid dynamics and fire prediction tools to be applied in building simulation. Steps included CAD modeling, flow simulation, geometry transfer, fire simulation and enhanced fire and smoke visualization. Commercial and research tools have been used and studies of indoor air quality, fire analysis and wind engineering have been conducted.
