Our work is finally revealed! https://lnkd.in/ecERaJRm This article, that Antoine Habellion, P.Eng and I co-authored, dives deep into rainscreen fireblocking options for compliance with both the IBC and New York City's Building Code language. It discusses unavoidable conflicts and reviews the lack of viable solutions in the code language. It ends by revealing actual performance testing of code approved fireblocking vs a more constructable solution like intumescent alternatives used around the world. The results are pretty stunning. I can't say enough about the manufacturers who committed to, and invested large amounts of time and money in this effort. Industry leaders participate in these types of initiatives, with with no guarantee of success, because that's what it takes to be an industry leader. For this project, they put their trust in Pivoth to develop the strategy and manage the execution. I'm proud to have participated and very honored to have these types of relationships with our clients. So, thank you to all of the manufacturers that participated. Feel free to reveal yourself in the comments! And special thank you to contributors Arthur Parker of Jensen Hughes and Eliot Benor of Building Envelope Testing TRUTH TIME: For those of you who see posts of wins and successes and wonder why it seems so easy, I can assure you that nothing about this 18 month long process was easy. We did have a 100% success rate with our tests, but the organization of this was not flawless. It never is. Finally, even after we had all the data, this article was hard to get done! (Thank you again Antoine Habellion, P.Eng) I now have a tremendous appreciation for those folks who publish multiple articles a year. I wish someone had told me how energy intensive this would be, but I'm also confident that my stubbornness would have steered me to ignore those warnings.
