Fire Protection Systems
Learn to design and implement effective Fire Protection Systems, ensuring building safety and code compliance.
About This Course
Fire protection is a critical aspect of MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) engineering, ensuring life safety, asset protection, and regulatory compliance in modern building designs. This comprehensive training program provides MEP professionals with in-depth knowledge of fire safety engineering, system design, installation, and maintenance.
The course covers fire detection, suppression, passive protection, hydraulic design, emergency response, and integration with modern smart technologies such as Building Management Systems (BMS) and IoT-based fire monitoring solutions. It follows global fire protection codes and standards such as NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), BS (British Standards), IS (Indian Standards), and regional regulations.
