2021 IBC/IFC
Fire Sprinkler Requirements and Incentives
Joint Meeting of TFPA and the NFSA Texas Chapter
Location Details:
Online meeting - participation details will be emailed to registrants prior to the event.
Program: This program reviews the latest editions (2018 & 2021) of the International Building Code (IBC) fire sprinkler requirements. The program identifies and explains the various types of sprinkler systems and where they are required and used throughout the IBC. Several discussions will arise over the design options which will permit design flexibility in all building types and uses. The seminar will cover relevant sections of the IBC and fire sprinkler installation standards (such as NFPA 13, 13R and 13D) that all code officials, contractors, layout technicians and engineers should know.
Participants will learn how to use the NFSA Fire Sprinkler Guide to quickly identify code requirements and the 125+ trade-ups that fire sprinklers provide.
