Objectives

This course provides students with the fundamentals of selecting and sizing conventional water and sanitary systems in buildings, as well as an overview of municipal water supply and sewage systems. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

• Design and size the water, wastewater, and stormwater systems of a typical property within the operating area of a water utility.
• Describe the principles of water and sewage systems in sparsely populated areas.
• Explain the mechanisms of fire ignition and propagation, as well as various firefighting methods, in general terms.

Content

• Municipal water supply and solutions for sparsely populated areas.
• Regulations and guidelines as the basis for the design, implementation, and operation of water and sewage systems.
• Sizing and pressure management of the property's water system.
• Safe implementation of hot water circulation piping.
• Sizing and implementation of the property's sewage network in various types of buildings.
• Grease traps and pumping stations.
• Various firefighting methods for properties.
