2018 IBC Mixed Occupancies:
Based on the provisions of IBC Section 508, this seminar addresses those special requirements applicable to buildings containing two or more occupancy classifications. The three mixed-occupancy options are presented along with examples and exercises that illustrate the proper application of the provisions. This seminar is designed to familiarize and assist code officials in locating, describing and applying IBC requirements regarding mixed occupancies.

Learning Objectives:

1. Define the concept for addressing mixed-occupancy buildings.
2. Identify and apply the three options that are available for regulating mixed-occupancy buildings.
3. Describe the relationship of occupancy classification, allowable height, allowable area and occupancy separation to mixed-occupancy buildings.
4. Identify incidental uses and understand how they differ from mixed-occupancy conditions.

2018 IBC and IFC Use of Fire Sprinkler and Alarm Systems (afternoon Presentation):
This seminar identifies those conditions under which automatic sprinkler protection and/or fire alarm systems are required. The application of the fire area concept will be discussed, along with the varying extent of sprinkler protection required based upon specific situations. In addition, the discussion will address many of the key code conditions under which the presence of an automatic sprinkler system can be used to modify other requirements.

Specific topics include:
• Overview of fire protection systems
• Definition and application of fire areas
• Required sprinkler and alarm protection based on occupancy classification
• Optional use of automatic sprinkler systems.
