13D Sprinkler Systems
National Fire Sprinkler Association- Rowland Asp
This presentation will provide an overview of residential fire sprinkler systems for one and two family dwellings. NFPA 13D is the Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems in One- and Two-Family Dwellings and Manufactured homes. This standard was originally developed in 1975 as a response to the 1973 report “America Burning”. Approximately 80% of the structure fires in this country occur in residential occupancies along with approximately 80% of the fire deaths. NFPA 13D was developed to combat these staggering statistics while allowing the systems to remain economical to install.
Tuesday, March 10th, 2:45 – 4:30
Incentives to install sprinklers
Peg Paul, HFSC Comm. Manager
Offering local developers home fire sprinkler incentives (trade-ups) is a proven method to protect new single-family home developments, especially where sprinklers are not required by code. Incentives can reduce construction costs and increase profit margins. Yet surveys show developers are not aware of them and would be interested if they were offered.
This presentation will spotlight case studies and detail how AHJs are achieving sprinkler developments. It will also address the importance of including sprinklers in new developments as part of local community risk reduction efforts. HFSC’s free resources will be offered to support AHJs and educate planners, building officials, water authorities, builders/developers and consumers. These resources can help overcome local challenges, identify incentives for each community and prepare the AHJ to make the offer to developers.
Wednesday, March 11th, 8:00 – 4:30
