2018 International Fire Code (IFC) for Energy Storage Systems (ESS) with Bill Brooks and related topics

This video is based on the 2018 IFC and there are many places that are using the 2018 IFC, in fact I just taught an ESS  class to inspectors based on the 2015 IFC. You will have to check your own state to see which version is adopted. At the time I am writing this, the 2018 IFC is the most widely used version, although the 2021 IFC has already been released. Additionally, most of the language between different versions is the same, so understanding one version means you mostly understand the other. Don’t be one of those people that overly worries about studying a different version of a Code.   Topics we cover include:   Large-scale fire testing (UL 9540A) FMEA Container batteries/ESS Lead-acid, NiCad Lithium-ion Maximum sizes Maximum allowable battery quantities UL 9540 UL 1973 EMS energy management systems BMS battery management systems
