AEC452 - Rain Screen Design Solutions for the Building Envelope...THIS COURSE IS NO LONGER OFFERED

This course is no longer active. AEC Daily will not report completion information for this course.

Provides an overview of innovative rain screen design technology and includes discussions on the impact of moisture infiltration on the building envelope, weather resistive barrier design and construction, and sustainable rain screen design systems for the building envelope.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Discuss the various ways moisture can infiltrate a building and the implications this will have on the building envelope and occupant comfort and safety.
  • Explain why climatic conditions need to be accommodated for in the building envelope design in order to have a dry, energy efficient structure.
  • List the three main types of weather resistive membranes and describe how each one works to reduce moisture within the building envelope.
  • Describe the elements of a rain screen system and specify the appropriate elements for a building project.
  • Explain how rain screen systems can contribute to LEED® points earned on a project and the overall sustainability of the building.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered online, at your own pace.
