The National Fire Sprinkler Assoc. (NFSA) Is Offering Free Training to AIA Chapters  

The National Fire Sprinkler Association is a trade association representing the fire protection industry nationally for over 100 years. NFSA manufactures or sells no products. Rather its mission is the promotion of life safety and increased fire protection for the built environment.

Over the last 5 years as part of that mission NFSA has delivered over 150 no cost seminars to architectural students at 44 universities in 22 states. These seminars have been so well accepted they have become part of the annual curriculum wherever presented. The seminars contain highlights of the full Design Advantage Seminars delivered to practicing architects nationwide for over 10 years.

Last year, the contracted rate for the Design Advantage seminars was $3000.00 plus the cost of the textbooks. This year, due to the receipt of a very generous grant to promote fire protection, NFSA can offer this seminar at no charge to AIA Chapters.  It is being offered on a very limited basis so early scheduling is a must.  

This 6 hour seminar is based on the International Building Code. It informs the designer on how to increase the fire protection of their designs while controlling construction costs. It identifies and explains over 100 design options which will permit design flexibility in all building types. Included are actual case studies and interactive discussions and problem solving exercises.  

Extra bonus every architect will receive a free copy of the 300 Page Multi-Code Fire Sprinkler Guide valued at $195.00 and used as the textbook for the seminar.
