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.
