NFPA 909: Protecting Cultural Properties

NFPA 909: Protecting Cultural Properties

Speakers:

Mark Hopkins

Description

NFPA 909 requires fire prevention, active fire protection systems, passive fire protection features, and considerations for resiliency and salvage planning. When applied, it imposes additional requirements for fire alarm, detection, security, and fire suppression systems beyond what is minimally required by building and fire codes which will impact cost and schedule.

This webinar will discuss issues affecting contractors and engineers working in these types of facilities. Contractors and designers of these systems need to function as part of the team assembled by the facility operators. Understanding roles and responsibilities is necessary to manage expectations. Communicating effectively will ensure successful projects in these facilities.

Upon completion of this webinar, participants should be able to:

  1. Discuss the scope of NFPA 909, Code for the Protection of Cultural Resource Properties – Museums, Libraries, and Places of Worship.
  2. Identify the leading causes and significance of fires in cultural properties.
  3. Understand that effective communication amongst stakeholders is essential for successful projects in cultural resource properties.
  4. Identify design and installation requirements of NFPA 909 that exceed the minimum requirements of NFPA 13.
