VIDEO: Pitfalls and Challenges of NFPA 285 Engineering Analysis
Engineering Analysis is a necessary tool to provide the fire protection and safety of our buildings. The exponential number of wall assembly combinations and detailing of enclosure assemblies in the built environment prevents the opportunity to confirm fire performance through direct testing.
This is especially true with the required investment of time, effort, and cost of larger scale tests such as NFPA 285. On March 20th at 11am EST we have a free webinar, "Pitfalls and Challenges of NFPA 285 Engineering Analysis.”

Challenges of NFPA 285 Engineering Analysis
Engineering Analysis is a necessary tool to provide the fire protection and safety of our buildings. Keith Nelson, Commercial Application Leader & Fire Performance Subject Matter Expert at DuPont, and Daniel Martin, Lead Fire Protection Engineer at Jensen Hughes, joined us to chat about their webinar “Pitfalls and Challenges of NFPA 285 Engineering Analysis.”
Building Enclosure was joined recently by our presenters, Keith Nelson, Commercial Application Leader & Fire Performance Subject Matter Expert at DuPont, and Daniel Martin, Lead Fire Protection Engineer at Jensen Hughes.
Watch and listen as Keith and Dan go over what to expect during the live webinar.
