You will learn about the different types of hazard and risk analyses and the limitations of these analyses. You will learn about fire models and energy storage systems.

You will learn the fire science equations, which help to quantify the design fire. You will learn about the combustion heat released and the smoke developed from various materials.

You will learn how to size and design smoke control systems. You will learn about the individual components that make a complete smoke control system.

You will learn how to design fire alarm systems, from the detection devices, to the notification and alarm devices. Also included will be the circuiting, calculations and the different types of fire alarm systems.

You will learn about the wet, dry, pre-action, deluge and water mist systems. You will also learn how to size and design fire tanks and fire pumps. You will learn how to complete hydraulic calculations and how to route fire sprinkler piping and how to locate fire sprinklers.

You will learn how to design low/high pressure CO2, chemical and inert clean agent, wet and dry chemical, foam and hypoxic air systems.

You will learn about the construction types, height/area limits, building separation requirements, interior finish requirements, structural fire resistance requirements and much more.

You will learn about how people behave during a fire and how to make the fire protection design safer for people.You will learn how to calculate occupant loads ans size the exits, access and discharge based on those occupant loads. You will also learn how to design egress lighting, signage and other requirements related to egress.

We have a special section in the course focused on code problems. The intent is to learn through repetition. There will be code questions throughout the course in the individual topics, but this section provides additional focus on each code that is available during the exam.
