Based on the following codes NBCC 2015 and OBC 2012, service (furnace) room of a house with secondary suite is not required to have fire rated separation between the service room and the remainder of the house, while NBCC 2015 requires continuous smoke-tight barrier to separate the service room from the remainder of the house, but in OBC 2012, this smoke -tight barrier is not required.
