Changes to fire codes and standards are often contentious, fostering inputs, debates, and compromises from constituencies representing building owners, product manufacturers, engineers, first responders, and research scientists.
This year, there are not only changes to established codes and standards, namely NFPA-72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, and NFPA-2001, Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems, there is a brand new standard, SFPE Engineering Standard to Fire Exposures to Structures.
This webcast has a panel of three distinguished fellows of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers to update the engineering community on the changes to specifications appearing in the latest releases, including some changes that are coming soon.
Update on NFPA-2001: Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems
By Milosh Puchovsky, PE, FSFPE - Professor of Practice and Director of Corporate & Professional Education, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, Mass.
Puchovsky will describe key technical changes for the late-2011 release of NFPA 2001, Standard on Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems. He will also discuss the new table of ozone-depleting potential and global warming potential values for listed clean agents; terminology changes; changes to supervision actuator specifications; protection under raised floors, and other changes to NFPA 2001.
Update on NFPA 72-2010: National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code
By Ray Grill, PE, FSFPE - Principal, Arup, Washington, D.C.
The new 2010 Edition of NFPA 72 not only incorporates significant technical changes, but it has also been reorganized. One of the more difficult areas of the new edition concerns designing for intelligibility. Grill's presentation will address this issue and provide an overview of other new requirements that engineers should be aware of now for design of fire alarm and emergency communication systems.
Update on SFPE-1-2011: Fire Exposures to Structures; and Two New Guides
By Morgan Hurley, PE, FSFPE - Technical Director, Society of Fire Protection Engineers, Bethesda, Md.
Hurley will provide an overview of three new cutting-edge documents that were either recently published or will be published soon: The SFPE Engineering Guide to Substantiating a Fire Model for a Given Application, The SFPE Engineering Standard to Fire Exposures to Structures, and a third document that will be a position statement outlining how fire protection design professionals are currently using BIM. It will also recommend a roadmap on the future direction of BIM as it relates to the practice of fire protection engineering.
This Webcast is free and 1.5 AIA learning units will be provided upon successful completion of an exam following the Webcast.
