Join us Thursday, March 7th, for our monthly meeting as Karl Wiegard, P.E. will be presenting "What's Up in the Attic". This presentation will discuss Standard Protection Schemes, To The Newer Peak Protection Schemes, and Yet a Newer; Low Demand Protection Scheme. Karl will also provide an overview of all three design methods.

This presentation will discuss the difficulties and issues with designing Attic Protection Per the current NFPA 13 prescriptive Standard. The presentation will then touch on the Specific Application Attic Sprinkler Protection Scheme and discuss the common misuses and misapplication of these specific application listings.
