Rain, rain, go away…not without the right enclosures! Rain water penetration is an important consideration for any structure. This workshop goes beyond the basics, diving deeper into the terminology related to the enclosures that effectively control rain, as well as heat and air infiltration.
Explore a glossary of terms associated with envelope rain water penetration in this workshop. Through clear, consistent terminology—including barrier, control, layer, surface, system, enclosure, drained cavity wall assembly, back-ventilated drain cavity wall assembly, rain screen, and more—you'll gain a deeper understanding of these concepts and a better ability to communicate with clients and contractors.
Plus, sharpen your knowledge of how to build various structures and solutions to redirect and control moisture, such as:
• Pressure-equalized rain screen walls
• Back-ventilated drained cavity walls
• Drainage plane walls
• Barrier walls
