CASA is excited to announce their Live Virtual Educational Seminars for 2026. The seminars will review a series of Fire Sprinkler / Fire Protection related subjects in accordance with the appropriate NFPA Standards, National Building Code & National Fire Code requirements. The Live Virtual seminars will help educate and offer best practices to the attendees on where to find the appropriate information in the referenced NFPA Standard, as well as how best to interpret and understand the intent of the many clauses found in the NFPA Standards and National Building Code & National Fire Code. The seminars will be presented in a virtual format via Microsoft Teams Video Conferencing, and all attendee’s will be provided with an attendee workbook and receive a certificate of attendance, which in many cases can be used and recognized for Continuing Education Units (CEU’s).

May 21, 2026, 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM (ET) – Residential Fire Sprinkler Requirements per the National Building Code of Canada
Residential sprinklers were first created and developed in the 1980’s and have been utilized and implemented globally since the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. The Residential Fire Sprinkler technology has been adapting and evolving for the past 40 years, and with technical advancements many of the design and installation parameters have evolved and expanded over the past decade. This seminar is designed specifically to cover the key residential fire sprinkler requirements found in NFPA 13D, NFPA 13R, and NFPA 13, as well as review and discuss the specific requirements and incentives found in the National Building code of Canada. The seminar will cover basic design layout requirements, installation requirements, obstruction clearances, and review the approved residential fire sprinkler design methods.

September 17, 2026, 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM (ET) – Renovations to existing Fire Sprinkler Systems -Design Considerations?
With the changing landscape of business and the development of new technologies, many buildings are constantly undergoing modifications to the interior design and layout of the interior space. In many cases these design modifications and the use of Fire Sprinkler Systems to achieve an approved “alternative solution” per our National Building Code performance requirements must be considered and properly reviewed before changes and or modifications to the fire sprinkler system are conducted. The implementation and complexity of approved “alternative solutions” involving the use of Fire Sprinkler Systems has grown over the years. This seminar is designed to highlight items that fire sprinkler designers, consulting engineers and contractors should be aware of prior to altering existing fire sprinkler systems.

November 19, 2026, 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM (ET) – Sprinkler System Plan Review
Examining fire sprinkler shop drawings, cut sheets and hydraulic calculations is a primary duty of the authority having jurisdiction. This course will provide a method of reviewing plans and other fire sprinkler documents that is efficient and thorough. Attendees will learn what documents to accept to start a review, what steps to take through the fire sprinkler design and systems review, and how to have confidence while reviewing hydraulic calculations. This course applies current codes and standards to fire sprinkler systems from the initial site plan review, through the construction documents, to the as-built drawings. Significant time on how to effectively communicate deficiencies to the design professional. Students will receive a handout that provides detailed checklists with expert commentary that is useful to the fire sprinkler plan reviewer for years to come. It is recommended that attendees have access to a copy of NFPA 13. To learn more and Register please visit REGISTER HERE
