BLD 260 Fire Protection for Buildings

1. Relates the fire protection requirements of the International Building Code and Building Code Standards to fire-resistive construction, sprinkler systems, and related alarm systems.
2. Evaluate the system design of standard sprinkler systems related to coverage, size, spacing, and pipe requirements.
3. Assess the materials and major components of fire protection systems to code standards.
4. Relate alarm and detection system standards to fire protection in buildings.
