Tech Session
Understanding Fire & Smoke Damper Application Requirements
This seminar presents a Fire and Smoke Damper Summary for HVAC engineers and designers based on the 2009 & 2012 International Building Codes. After attending, the participant will better understand the differences between Fire Walls, Fire Barriers, Shaft Enclosures, and Fire Partitions and between a Smoke Barrier and Smoke Partition, so that one can properly apply (or not apply) fire and smoke dampers where they are required, but only when required.
Dinner and Main Session
Now that you know where to locate the life safety dampers. How?
After learning about the basic requirements for locating fire and smoke rated (life safety) dampers in the technical session, we will further examine the applications and requirements of installation. The agenda includes a discussion on damper interfaces between fire alarms and building control systems.
