Abstract: An online survey on the use of tenability criteria in CFD analyses for PBFSE was conducted, to better understand the current industry practices in fire modelling. 254 participants responded, representing wide range of roles in professional practice. Visibility in smoke is the most used (90.2%) and most influential (91.4%) tenability criterion, while smoke temperatures are being commonly evaluated (76.5%) but more rarely impact the design (45.8%). Criteria related to smoke toxicity were used only by 10.4% - 19.9% of participants, indicating potential gaps in life safety assessments. The paper presents more detailed results, as well as future research directions informed by the outcomes.
