In this course students will learn how to design fire fighting systems based on NFPA Standard by Using Revit to extract the design drawings and make the tender documents. we will start this course with general introduction about the course project and material, introduction about fire fighting systems, introduction about Revit as design tool. then we will learn more about the project setup using the architectural and structural models, starting from rooms names and function, to project base point and survey point, and finally project levels and grids.
Once the project setup is ready, we will start with most common used fire fighting system which is the wet pipe sprinkler system, how to choose the right sprinkler type based on the space function, how to distribute sprinklers, how to create the pipes network and pipes sizing based on NFPA 13. Then we will move to stand pipe system (Fire Hose Reel Cabinet), we will get to know the three classes of this system, how to distribute them in the building, and for sure the pipe sizing for this system based on NFPA 14. we will learn how to select fire pumps from catalogues, how to read the performance curve and how to place them in fire fighting pump room and much more.
