4 Photos showing correct and incorrect installa on methods will be used to illustrate NEC requirements and installa on requirements published by equipment manufacturers. This is an introductory course for inspectors with limited electrical experience and those new to inspec ons, and will be benefi cial for others who would like a refresher on electrical installa ons. Engineers with a desire to learn more about fi eld installa ons will also benefi t. This class is con nually updated from year to year to refl ect current issues found by IBC Fire and Life Safety Principles Session 4 CEU: : John GibsonThis seminar addresses the cri cal concepts of the 2018 Interna onal Building Code (IBC ) regarding fi re and life safety issues, along with issues that are necessary for many design and plan review decisions.

5 These concepts provide a basis for the correct use of the code in building planning, classifi ca on of buildings and occupancies, fi re-resistance-rated construc on, fi re protec on systems and means of egress. Par cipants will listen to lecture, review sec ons of the IBC that pertain to fi re and life safety principles in buildings, and test their knowledge with quizzes and other individual and group ac vi es. Fire-Resistant-Rated Construc on Session 5 CEU: : Steve ThomasThis course focuses on those elements of buildings that are required to be fi re-resistance rated due to other provisions of the code. Based on the Interna onal Building Code (IBC ), provisions applicable to all of the occupancies and construc on types will be addressed.

6 The seminar is applicable to all members of the regulatory/design/construc on community, including building offi cials, fi re offi cials, plans examiners, inspectors, design professionals and contractors. Major topics include: required fi re-resistance-rated construc on in the IBC; resources to verify fi re-resistance-rated construc on; fi re walls; fi re barriers and fi re par ons; horizontal assemblies; sha enclosures; fi re doors and fi re windows; penetra ons and joints; fi re dampers and smoke dampers; fi re-blocking and dra 4 Morning sessions start at 7:30 | A ernoon sessions start at 1:00 DESCRIPTIONS | MONDAY, MARCH 19 IRC Plan Review Session 6 CEU: : Gil Rossmiller Designed to provide a broad overview of the process for residen al plan review, this one-day course will provide the basic steps involved to complete a comprehensive review of a residence.

The process involves a review of various topics contained in the 2016 edi on of NFPA 13, Standard for the Installa on of Sprinkler Systems. The recent revisions to NFPA 13 compels a more detailed approach to review of plans and support documents.

8 Discussion and informa on provided will include topics such as iden fi ca on of various construc on types, commodity classes, occupancy hazards, system types, and sprinklers themselves. This seminar relies heavily on class par cipa on u lizing several class exercises to: 1) use established methods to determine coverage areas for various sprinkler spacings and the resul ng minimum water discharge, 2) provide the math necessary to interpret water fl ow test results, 3) perform review of a sample plan with suppor ng hydraulic calcula ons, followed by a review and discussion of defi ciencies. Upon comple on of this seminar, par cipants should be able to interpret compliance of fi re sprinkler system plans and hydraulic calcula ons; iden fy coverage area maximums and sprinkler loca ons; iden fy various NFPA 13-defi ned construc on types; and describe poten al plan defi ciencies.

9 A endees should bring the NFPA 13 (2016 Ed.) standard, architectural scale, and calculator with exponen al math capabili es. Plan reviewers, fi re inspectors, insurance representa ves, architects, system layout technicians, and engineers will all fi nd this to be a very benefi cial learning experience. Required Materials: NFPA 13 (2016 Ed.), architectural scale, calculator with exponen al math capabili UPC Code Changes Session 8 CEU: : IAPMO InstructorKeep up-to-date on the Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC ) by learning about the changes from the 2015 to the 2018 edi on.
