How to Achieve Superior Building Envelope Performance in Rainscreen Wall Design

How to Achieve Superior Building Envelope Performance in Rainscreen Wall Design explores rainscreen wall design theory, how rainscreen walls control hygrothermal loads, and shortcomings of today’s multi-component backup wall assemblies used in rainscreen wall construction. The course will compare and contrast the common multi-component backup wall assembly with the single-component insulated metal composite backup wall system, and demonstrate how the latter overcomes deficiencies of the former in creating a building envelope with superior performance as well as other key benefits.

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

• Define what a rainscreen wall assembly is, the hygrothermal loads it must control, and why one form of rainscreen wall design is considered superior by leading experts.
• Explore shortcomings of traditional multi-component backup wall assemblies.
• Understand how the insulated metal composite backup wall system solves shortcomings of common multi-component backup wall assemblies.
• Learn how the insulated metal composite backup wall system is pre-engineered to integrate with virtually any rainscreen material.
• Discover the vast aesthetic options presented by rainscreen wall system cladding.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered via webinar or face-to-face presentation. Available sessions shown below.
