Technology: AFSA ‘hosts’ 90-minute Virtual Seminar
Thursday, March 01 @ 08:52:11 PST by howard (938 reads) | Wednesday, April 11
Steven Scandaliato outlines the important “New Seismic Requirements with NFPA & IBC”
DALLAS–On Wednesday, April 11, 2007, 12:00 p.m. EDT, 11:00 a.m. CDT, 10:00 a.m. MDT, 9:00 a.m. PDT, the American Fire Sprinkler Association (AFSA) will present a 90-minute telephone seminar on the new requirements and updates to NFPA and IBC valuable to engineers of record, sprinkler system designers, and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). The topics of seismic design have become well known to many over the past five years. And like many, your learning experience has most likely come with a cost. The new editions of NFPA and IBC have arrived and offer a much more understandable process for those of us involved with fire protection systems to apply. This seminar has been organized with condensed step-by-step information that leads from the “when” through to the “how”. Whether you have wrestled with this before or you have not yet experienced this process, this seminar is not to be missed!
