SUMMARY:Beginning Design School
DESCRIPTION:The Beginning Design School presents a comprehensive\, practical approach to preparing fire sprinkler system drawings. \nOver a three-week period\, students will attend six live webinars studying and reviewing the installation and design approach requirements of NFPA 13 (2019) while completing self-paced exercises and module assessments. Q&A sessions and open discussions will also be included as part of the online instruction. \nThe second part of the class will be a week of in-person training\, preparing fire sprinkler system layouts\, shop drawings\, and hydraulic calculations by hand. The course concludes with a comprehensive exam of the class content\, including the installation requirements and hydraulics. \nThere is no CAD or third-party software taught in this class. \nLearning Objectives:\nThe school will prepare the student to: \n\nAccelerate the comprehension of plans and various types of building construction for proper sprinkler spacing applications.\nDetermine the proper and economic planning of sprinkler system layout and installation methods.\nKnow the importance of sprinkler specifications\, types of pipe\, hangers\, fittings\, flow tests\, etc.\nLearn to develop shop drawings from start to finish.\nLearn to coordinate with other trades – plumbing\, mechanical\, structural\, and electrical.\nPerform manual hydraulic calculations by hand\, preparing the student for a more natural decision-making process when using a computer to perform hydraulics.\nPrepare shop drawings in class for projects with different applications.\n\nPrerequisites:\nThis class is designed for trainees and entry-level technicians with at least six months of experience and those with experience in the sprinkler trade looking to transition to system layout. \nThe final week of each session will be hosted on location. Hotel location TBD. \n Learn More & Register

SUMMARY:Proposed Changes to NFPA 200
DESCRIPTION:The proposed NFPA 200\, Standard for Hanging and Bracing of Fire Suppression Systems\, had begun its first revision cycle to establish the inaugural 2026 edition. Developed to establish criteria specific to systems other than sprinkler systems\, this standard will be the new authority on hanging and bracing requirements for other standards to reference and extract. This presentation will review the overall structure of the proposed document\, summarize the first revisions proposed by the committee\,\nand identify the next steps in the standard development process. \n Register & Learn More
