SUMMARY:NFPA 285 and Weather Resistive Barriers: Implications for Wall Design 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Use of combustible building materials in wall assemblies increases the risk of fire in the built environment. The relationship between the weather barrier and NFPA285 compliance is often misunderstood. This course will cover the basics of the NFPA 285 test standard and the building code sections relevant to weather resistive barriers. It will also address the basics of test wall designs\, including cladding\, insulation\, etc.\, how wall systems that include weather resistive barriers are analyzed for engineering evaluations and compliance strategies. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nLearn the basics of NFPA 285 and its role in wall assembly design.\n Review the building code requirements related to weather-resistive barriers (WRBs).\n Explore the basics of NFPA 285 test wall designs\, including claddings\, insulation types\, and WRBs.\nUnderstand how weather-resistive barriers are analyzed for engineering evaluations and compliance.\n\nRegister Now \nMichael Hooper\, BA. Tech. MBSc.\, Building Science Manager\, Dörken Systems Inc. \nMichael Hooper is a seasoned construction professional with over 16 years of experience in building science consulting\, project management\, and construction across residential\, commercial\, and renewable energy sectors. In his current role as North American Building Science Manager for Dorken Systems\, Michael specializes in codes and standards for thermal and moisture protection\, providing expert guidance on the design of building envelope solutions. His role includes educating industry professionals on building science principles\, and their effects on durability\, occupant comfort\, energy efficiency\, contractor training\, technical support and Dorken’s sustainability initiatives. Michael’s academic credentials include a Master of Building Science from Ryerson University\, where he gained interdisciplinary expertise in sustainable construction\, energy-efficient design\, and building failure analysis. He also holds a Bachelor of Applied Technology in Construction Science and Management from George Brown College. He engages with industry through as a member of ABAA\, RAiNA\, Canadian Specifications Council\, IIBEC and the Ontario Building Envelope Council.
