SUMMARY:Smokin' NFPA 285: Fire Safety in Exterior Walls 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Smokin’ NFPA 285: Fire Safety in Exterior Walls\nWhen considering the building enclosure\, fire safety is an important design factor and needs to be considered hand-in-hand with energy code requirements. The NFPA 285 “Standard Fire Test Method for Evaluation of Fire Propagation Characteristics of Exterior Non-Load-Bearing Wall Assemblies Containing Combustible Components” is a common consideration with modern building assemblies that use combustible materials. This presentation will review the history and scope of the NFPA 285 test standard\, and its adoption within the International Building Code (IBC). It will outline the criteria for compliance\, as well as identify triggers and contributors under the standard. The presentation will review how the selection building components such as insulation\, air/water resistive barriers and claddings\, can affect the fire performance of an assembly\, and identify solutions and common paths for compliance. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDiscuss the importance of fire and safety design considerations as it relates to the building enclosure\n Discuss the history\, scope and testing procedure outlined in the NFPA 285 test standard\nUnderstand the requirements of NFPA 285 compliant assemblies and the implications of building materials selection\nIdentify passive design solutions to achieve compliance and resources available with compliant designs\n\n\nRegister Here \nKeith Nelson\, Commercial Application Leader and Fire Performance SME\, DuPont \nKeith P. Nelson joined DuPont in January 2023 with over 20 years of industry experience leading building enclosure consulting for design and construction projects across the US and internationally. He is a licensed Architect in multiple states and joined DuPont with strong experiences in building science\, building enclosure forensics\, enclosure commissioning\, field performance testing\, and is an industry leader in NFPA 285 compliance education. Keith leads and participates in multiple standard development organizations\, including ICC 1125\, ASHRAE 90.1\, ASTM E06\, and ASTM E05 and was elected to the ABAA Board of Directors in June 2024. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Architecture and a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Design from Ball State University in Muncie\, Indiana.
