NFPA 13 – Residential Sprinkler Design and Automatic Sprinkler Systems Plans Review

22-09-2025 To 26-09-2025
Dubai

Automatic fire sprinklers save lives—especially in residential settings where fire risk is high and escape time is limited. This course focuses on the design, layout, installation criteria, and plans review process of residential sprinkler systems, using the NFPA 13 series (13, 13R, 13D). It covers system requirements, hazard classification, sprinkler spacing, hydraulic calculations, and approval processes. Participants will gain hands-on experience through layout exercises, sample plans, and code interpretation for multi-family, single-family, and mixed-use buildings.
