High-Hazard occupancies, referred to as Group H in the International Building Code (IBC), are some of the most difficult environments for the fire protection industry to address. These challenging structures include aircraft hangars, petrochemical sites, and steel mills. From lack of water supply to heavy fire load potentials, there are numerous considerations to be made when designing fire sprinkler systems to protect these unique facilities. This course discusses several factors for the designer to consider and presents case study examples on how specific problems were assessed and resolved in order to provide functional and operationally compliant fire protection systems.
Learning Objectives:
• Identify the codes and standards related to high-hazard occupancies and fire protection design
• Understand the constraints and opportunities related to fire protection for high-hazard facilities
• Explain solutions for non-traditional challenges related to water supply and application
• Learn operational considerations that may impact the systems to ensure the design is functional for the environment
