Continuing Education Fire Protection Design Advantage (includes Requirements from the 2007 NYS Building Code) Presented by Jeff Hugo, CBO Co-Sponsored by the National Fire Sprinkler Association Specifically designed for design professionals, this intense full day program will clearly demonstrate how to use design options with the current 2007 New York State Building Code to provide increased fire protection while controlling construction costs. The Presenter will identify and explain over 100 design options which will permit design flexibility in all building types. The program will consist of actual cost studies between sprinklered and non-sprinklered buildings and three interactive workshops that include an actual design study for an office building. The seminar will cover the following relevant sections of the New York State Building Code including: Occupancy Classifications; Special Occupancies; Height and Areas Calculations; Fire Resistive Construction; Fire Sprinkler Requirements; Exiting and Means of Egress. Also covered will be the latest residential sprinker requirements of the 2009 International Residential Code. The Presenter will provide attendees with the knowledge to determine the inadequacies of current basic building and fire code requirements and provide increased fire protection without increasing construction costs. Participants will learn how to use the Fire Sprinkler Guide to identify code requirements and design advantages and understand the various types of sprinkler systems and where they are required. All attendees will receive a copy of the latest 300 page Fire Sprinkler Guide. This manual will provide design professionals with the ability to evaluate the most cost effective way of providing active fire protection.
