8:30 am – 11:30 am: "Calculation of Building Area and Height Limits Under the 2009 IBC’" by Jeff Shapiro and Marshall Klein:
Topic: This seminar will present the history, application, and proposed changes to the Allowable Area and Height requirements of the IBC. How to implement and utilize these requirements can be very confusing, and this seminar is intended to provide the participant with a basis for understanding the development of the requirements, as well as real life application.

12:30 pm – 4:30 pm: ‘Sprinkler Incentives in the IBC’ by Jeff Hugo:
Topic: As part of attending this seminar, each RSVP’d participant will receive a FREE copy of “The Fire Sprinkler Guide” by NFSA, ($200 value – see below). The seminar will teach participants how to quickly and correctly identify the design options provided in the IBC. Seminar will include actual cost studies between sprinklered and non-sprinklered buildings; interactive workshops including actual design study; and also covered are relevant sections of the necessary NFPA Fire Sprinkler Installation standards.
From the 2009 NFSA Catalog:
“The Fire Sprinkler Guide (with 2006 IBC Section) - Code #P-022 Produced by NFSA, these handbooks are available in a three-ring binder. The guide defines those sections of the three model building codes, the Life Safety Code® (NFPA 101®) and International Building Code where fire sprinkler systems are required, including partial requirements and construction incentives. The Guide includes comparison tables to clarify many of the code requirements. The Guide is a valuable tool for architects and engineers, plan reviewers, fire and building inspectors, as well as sprinkler contractors, and serves well as a workbook for students at the NFSA’s Design Advantage Seminar. NFSA Member Price: $100 Nonmember Price: $200”
