4 Learning Objectives What is the NFPA 285 Fire Test and why is it so important? What are common concerns encountered with NFPA 285 assembly design and installation? What are the different types of CI Options that offer NFPA 285 compliance? What are the advantages and challenges of CI Board Products in NFPA 285 assemblies?

5 What is the NFPA 285 Test? Pass Fail Fire Performance System Test Measures the performance of wall systems and their components when wrapped in combustible materials Required by code(chapter 14 and 26 IBC) National Fire Protection Association The authority on fire, electrical, and building safety

6 NFPA 285 what does it look like The Fire Chamber The Assembly Components Base Wall Type Cavity Insulation Exterior gypsum sheathing Water/vapor barrier Continuous Insulation Layer Exterior Finish

7 NFPA 285 Pass/Fail Criteria

8 NFPA 285 Burn Video

9 NFPA 285 Burn Video

10 Why is the NFPA 285 Important? Building occupant & firefighter safety CI codes are increasingly being adopted into state code Without proper documentation: Project could be halted until documentation provided One or multiple materials maybe removed or changed Building envelope redesign may be required

11 NFPA 285 is triggered by MANY Products Air and Water Barriers Section Combustible Claddings EIFS Section MCM Section FRP Section HPL Section Foam Plastic Insulation Section

12 NFPA 285 and Engineering Evaluations Engineering evaluations are unavoidable Cost Infinite material combinations IBC Chapter 17 Special Exceptions and Tests Approved agency can provide affirmation of code compliance of materials or systems through testing evaluation and reasoned judgment Examples of approved agencies ICC-ES, IAPMO, Intertek, UL, DRJ Engineering, Hughes & Associates, Priest & Associates and Others

13 NFPA 285 Assemblies: Common Issues Improper combination of materials NFPA 285 and mineral wool Metal cladding specified with XPS Window and Door details not installed Transitions between different claddings

14 NFPA 285 Assemblies: Common Issues -Improper combination/order of materials Example: XPS often specified in assemblies with metal claddings *without gypsum board applied to exterior of insulation Metal Panel Cladding

15 NFPA 285 Assemblies: Common Issues -Window and Door Header Details Additional field installation details for XPS (and EPS) are rarely installed to match the passed assemblies.

16 NFPA 285 Assemblies: Common Issues -Window and Door Header Details Intense fire exposure occurs at the head of the opening

17 NFPA 285 Assemblies: Common Issues Transitions Between Cladding Types

18 NFPA 285 Facts: Misperception Mineral Wool Boards do not necessarily offer a free pass to the NFPA 285 Many other building envelope products commonly combined with MW trigger the NFPA 285

19 NFPA 285 Facts: Overlooked Triggers MCM and HPL (metal and plastic combustible cladding) require NFPA 285 compliance

20 NFPA 285 Facts: Common Areas of Question What is compliant and what is not? Continuously evolving as more tests are conducted No centralized directory UL attempting to build a central directory Many commonly used exterior components DO NOT have NFPA compliant assemblies Window and door header details are crucial to NFPA 285 compliance with some materials

21 What are my exterior CI Options?

22 What are my exterior CI Options? Do they offer NFPA 285 Compliance? EIFS Board Insulation Insulated Claddings Spray Insulation Insulated Concrete

23 CI Options- Polyisocyanurate Boards NFPA 285 Compliant Assemblies YES, Varies By Manufacturer, Lots of Design Flexibility Steel Frame Yes, Many CMU Yes, Many Concrete Yes, Many

24 CI Options- Polystyrene Boards-XPS or EPS NFPA 285 Complaint Assemblies Yes- Some limitations Steel Frame Yes Can be limited by cladding and may require special fire protection detailing CMU Yes Can be limited by cladding and may require special fire protection detailing Concrete Yes Can be limited by cladding and may require special fire protection detailing

25 CI Options- Mineral Fiber/Slag Wool/Fibrous Boards NFPA 285 Compliant Assemblies None- Other components in the wall system may trigger the test Steel Frame Yes-Many CMU Yes-Many Concrete Yes-Many

26 CI Options- Spray Foam - SPF NFPA 285 Compliant Assemblies Some- May have limitations Steel Frame Some-Limited assemblies passed CMU Yes-Limited assemblies passed Concrete Yes-Limited assemblies passed

27 CI Options- Insulated Claddings NFPA 285 Assemblies Compliant Yes- Many are proprietary *Note some insulated claddings are not true continuous insulation Steel Frame Yes- Many are proprietary CMU Yes- Many are proprietary Concrete Yes- Many are proprietary

28 CI Options- EIFS and Concrete Panels Concrete Panels & Pre-Cast NFPA 285 Compliant Assemblies Yes-Most are proprietary systems EIFS NFPA 285 Compliant Assemblies Yes- Most are proprietary systems

29 What does a typical NFPA 285 compliant wall assembly look like for each of these CI options? Spray Foam very limited option Insulated Metal Panels different application PreCast, Concrete Sandwich Panel, Tilt Wall N/A Lets discuss the more commonly used board insulations Polyiso, EPS/XPS, Mineral Wool..

30 Common Assembly Comparisons Utilizing Board Insulation

31 NFPA 285 Compliant Assembly Steel Stud with Masonry R-10 POLYISO XPS MINERAL WOOL

32 NFPA 285 Compliant Assembly Steel Stud with Masonry R-10 POLYISO XPS MINERAL WOOL Polyiso 1.5 XPS 2 Mineral Wool 2 Layers 1.5 1

33 NFPA 285 Compliant Assembly Steel Stud with Masonry R-10 Wall Cavity Width POLYISO XPS MINERAL WOOL Two Layers 1 1.5

34 NFPA 285 Compliant Assembly Maximizing Interior Space/Reducing Concrete Required POLYISO XPS MINERAL WOOL Thinnest profile Thicker profile Thickest profile

35 NFPA 285 Compliant Assembly Window and Door Headers POLYISO XPS MINERAL WOOL Standard window and door header Non-Standard window and door header Standard window and door header

36 NFPA 285 Compliant Assembly Steel Stud with Metal Cladding R-19 POLYISO XPS MINERAL WOOL Minus Gypsum 1.5 Thinner Cavity Non-Compliant Cavity Thickness 4.5

37 NFPA 285 Compliant Assembly Concrete Masonry Unit with Metal Cladding R-19 POLYISO XPS MINERAL WOOL Non-Compliant

38 NFPA 285 Compliant Assembly Polyiso Moisture Properties and Airflow

39 NFPA 285 Compliant Assembly EPS/XPS Moisture Properties and Airflow

40 NFPA 285 Compliant Assembly Mineral Wool Moisture Properties and Airflow

41 NFPA 285 Compliant Assembly Board Insulation Moisture Properties and Airflow Placement of WRB POLYISO XPS MINERAL WOOL

42 NFPA 285 Compliant Assembly Attachment Methods POLYISO XPS MINERAL WOOL

43 Polyiso gives you more design choices on components with proprietary and nonproprietary systems CI Options and NFPA 285 Recap

44 Future of the NFPA and the IBC

45 Learning Objectives What is the NFPA 285 Fire Test and why is it so important? What are the common misinterpretations of the NFPA 285? What are the different types of CI Options that offer NFPA compliance. What does a typical NFPA 285 compliant wall assembly look like for each of these CI options, how do they differ?
