NFPA 285 is a fire test for wall assemblies in noncombustible buildings that are wrapped in combustible materials. This course explains the NFPA 285 test method, its origin, its procedures, when it is required by the International Building Code, its relevance to ASHRAE 90.1 criteria for continuous insulation and air/water resistive barriers, and design considerations necessary for test compliance. Key combustible wall assembly layers such as insulation, air/water resistive barriers, and exterior cladding options are also discussed.

Background
Herbert Slone is a registered architect and Senior Manager of Commercial Building Systems for Owens Corning. He has over 40 years of experience in construction and more than 25 years in the insulation industry. As Owens Corning’s Chief Architect he provides vision and leadership to building envelope systemization, developing basis-of-design solutions for architects, and creating pull-through demand to support distribution partners. His work in this role includes the creation of the CommercialComplete® building envelope brand, a portfolio of envelope system solutions including the CavityComplete® Wall System innovation which brought together Owens Corning products from multiple Owens Corning business units (foam, fiberglass, and mineral wool), along with products/partnership from 4 other industry-leading manufacturers, to provide the industry’s most complete and uniquely warranted steel stud/masonry veneer wall system. For his work on the “direct-to-deck” fire rated roof insulation system he won the Owens Corning Slayter Award for technical achievement yielding high business impact. He is also responsible for architectural/technical oversight during market development and introduction including performance testing (air/water, fire, structural, wind), building code approvals, codes and standards development, architectural specification development, thermal and moisture analysis, literature development, and customer and education outreach. He has authored numerous professional articles and AIA/CES educational programs on building construction, air/water/thermal system performance, fire rated systems, and building and energy code compliance. Prior to joining Owens Corning, Mr. Slone worked as an architect, building code official, and taught life safety theory in building design in the Kent State University College of Architecture and Environmental Design. He is a former member of the Ohio Board of Building Standards, appointed by the Governor of Ohio, and has chaired several industry committees including a term as President of the Ohio Building Officials Association and Chairman of the Extruded Polystyrene Foam Association Commercial Building Council, and the Society of the Plastics Industry Building Codes Committee. Mr. Slone graduated from Bowling Green State University with a Bachelor of Science in Construction Technology, and from Kent State University with a Master of Architecture.
