New Online Course: Inspecting Commercial Plumbing Systems
Course Description:
A commercial plumbing inspection includes water supply and distribution systems, fuel supply and distribution systems, and the plumbing fixtures, appliances, and equipment connected to them. This course explains how these systems are designed, installed, and intended to operate, along with inspection procedures, safety practices, and commonly reported conditions. Each system is taught by tracing the service from its main connection through the building’s distribution points, helping commercial property inspectors perform efficient condition assessments of plumbing systems in commercial buildings.
The course also reviews how commercial plumbing systems differ from residential systems and what inspectors should expect when assessing properties with different occupancies, uses, and water demands, including multi-tenant and multi-building properties. Concepts are organized to help inspectors understand plumbing systems as a whole and apply the knowledge in the field. You’ll also learn about the commercial property inspection standards of practice and plumbing design principles reflected in the IBC, IFGC, and NFPA.
