This is a live, encore presentation of a webinar that was originally offered on April 11, 2018. Attendees of the previously offered presentation, RV-W041118 will not receive CEU for attending the May 29 presentation.

The required technical fire sprinkler drawings and calculations must be reviewed and approved by the owner's representative; engineer or architect of record; building officials; and fire officials. Many commercial, industrial, and even residential buildings require a fire sprinkler system. Fire sprinkler drawings, calculations, and equipment submittals are required to be prepared by a fire protection engineer or a licensed fire sprinkler contractor. This webinar will prepare the non-fire protection engineer to thoroughly review and understand complex fire sprinkler drawings to ensure a properly designed and installed system is provided and the health and safety of building occupants is addressed.

Note: This is a live webinar delivered via WebEx. Session instructions will be emailed to you 24-48 hours prior to the webinar and the morning of the webinar. If you have not received your instructions for any reason please call client support the day of the event. Webinars are live and interactive and students will have the ability to directly interact with and ask questions of the presenter.
