Cladding Safety in Light of Global Fires

This webinar was presented by the MCM Alliance of the Metal Construction Association in December 2021. This webinar’s purpose is to build trust and understanding of value in the NFPA 285 Multi-Story Fire test for the overall fire performance of a wall assembly in the real world. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is all about safety and no threat to life, and the NFPA 285 tests the construction wall assembly containing combustible materials. This course helps architects understand how the NFPA is addressing multistory fire testing and how this helps prevent fires over time. Learning Objectives: • Learn what the NFPA 285 tell us about the cladding performance. • Understand the assembly relationship between continuous combustible insulation, weather resistive barriers, (WRB’s), location and size of ventilation space, MCM Cladding, and the NFPA 285 requirements. • Learn when the NFPA 285 applies per the IBC requirements. • Why engineering evaluations are a necessary component and why it is important to offer an alternative to specific direction of the code. • Find out what trust in the NFPA 285 means.
