2021 IBC and IFC Fire Protection Systems (Virtual)

This seminar is designed to guide participants through the 2021 IFC requirements related to fire protection systems (Chapter 9). These requirements include suppression systems, standpipe systems, automatic fire alarm systems, automatic detection systems and additional fire protection assemblies. This seminar provides code officials and design professionals with: • An understanding of the Chapter 9 fire protection system requirements in the 2021 IFC and 2021 IBC. • The design and operation of various fire-extinguishing and fire detection and signaling systems. • A review of the applicable National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards for fire protection systems. • The requirements for the inspection and maintenance of fire protection systems. Because the 2021 IFC and Chapter 9 of the 2021 IBC have such broad scopes, the focus of this seminar is to review design, construction, inspection and testing requirements for: • Fire sprinkler systems; • Fire-extinguishing systems; • Standpipe systems; • Fire alarm and detection systems; • Smoke control systems; and • Smoke removal systems.
