Описание: Fire Alarm System Design (https://electricityforum.com/electric...)

This 12-hour live instructor-led course provides a comprehensive understanding of design principles, code requirements and best practices for fire alarm systems in Canadian buildings. The Fire Alarm System Design course from EFTI helps professionals interpret the National Building Code of Canada 2020 and referenced ULC standards to design compliant, high-performance fire detection and notification systems.

🧩 Subject Overview

This course explains the relationship between NBCC, the National Fire Code of Canada (NFC) and ULC standards (CAN/ULC-S524, S537, S536, S561, S1001). Participants learn how to select system types, apply occupancy classifications, design layouts, prepare documentation, coordinate with AHJs and understand upcoming NBCC 2025 changes affecting federally regulated projects.

Key Topics Covered:
• Types of fire alarm systems: conventional, addressable, networked
• Canadian code structure: NBCC, NFC and provincial adoption
• ULC standards: S524 (installation), S537 (verification), S536 (inspection/testing), S561, S1001 (integrated systems)
• Design criteria: wiring, zoning, power supply, standby capacity, audibility, mounting heights
• Drawings, specifications, interdisciplinary coordination and retrofit considerations
• Commissioning, verification, inspection, integration with sprinklers, elevators and smoke control systems
• Transition to NBCC 2025: performance-based design, federal project requirements
