SUMMARY:Intermediate Design School
DESCRIPTION:Next Level Design\nExperienced layout technicians will find this blended learning course useful to understand the tools they utilize in-depth and gain a deeper knowledge of layout standpipes\, fire pumps\, seismic protection\, and the design requirements for general storage. In addition to mastering requirements in NFPA 13\, NFPA 14\, and NFPA 20\, students will utilize computer modeling software to apply design requirements learned throughout the course\, becoming familiar with the BIM process. This course begins with an orientation and two 3-hour webinars followed by five days of in-person instruction. \nThe course will begin with an orientation and two 3-hour webinars providing an overview of the toolsets available in the Hydratec for Revit® software to allow students to utilize Building Information Modeling (BIM) for exercises. \nThis is followed by five days of in-person instruction. The course is designed for those with layout experience looking to understand the tools they utilize in-depth and gain a deeper knowledge to apply the design and installation requirements for general storage\, install and calculate seismic protection\, layout and calculate standpipe systems\, size\, and select-fire pumps\, and apply hydraulic principles to complex wet\, deluge\, and preaction systems. Seismic protection and sway bracing will also be covered in detail. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMember Price:  $2\,100 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNonmember Price: $3\,100 \n\n\n\n\nMore Info & Register

SUMMARY:Sprinkler Hydraulic Calculations Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In this three-day\, in-person workshop\, students will understand and apply principles of hydraulics including the different types of pressure\, calculating changes in pressure (elevation and friction loss)\, and node analysis. Students will apply factors for equivalent length adjustments based on pipe type\, size\, and system arrangement. Using the principles of hydraulics\, students will select a remote area\, perform hand calculations for tree systems\, identify and understand the different sections of the detailed hydraulic worksheet\, and where place the appropriate system information. Examples of calculations for sprinkler systems\, water supply analysis\, and simple loops are provided with a hands-on approach. Students will apply their knowledge to perform hand calculations. Then\, students will utilize computer-based calculation software to demonstrate the impact of choices on system characteristics to determine effects on system demand and performance and validate the results. \nLearning Objectives: \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify occupancy classifications and minimum design criteria.\nDetermine available water supply and compare system demands.\nDetermine minimum starting flow and pressure.\nIdentify forms of pressure loss.\nApply the Hazen-Williams formula by changing variables (flow\, roughness\, and pipe size) to improve system performance.\nDetermine the minimum water supply needed to support sprinkler system demand.\nApply hydraulic principles to balance flows and pressure at junction points.\nDescribe the output of hydraulic calculation software and appropriate input to obtain an acceptable result and identify common errors.\n\nCredits & Approvals \n\n2.25 CEU; 22.5 NICET CPD\n22.5 CEU Florida Approved Credits\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMember Price: $950;  AHJ: $250;   Nonmember Price: $1\,250 \n Learn More & Register
