Detailing High-Performance Facades: Cladding Decisions and Sealant Strategies
Today’s high-performance facade standards require the deft balancing of aesthetics, technical detailing, and the demands of the client and local building regulations. This workshop will discuss both material and technical solutions to meet those standards. Experts will be on hand to lead tutorials on the most recent innovations in rainscreen cladding, sealant solutions, and much more. Attendees will leave with a greater knowledge of material applications at the cutting-edge of energy performance and code compliance, all while learning of attractive solutions for clients and end users.
Agenda
10AM - 11AM

Credit type: 1 LU/HSW
This course presents the complete design approach to rainscreens and explains why rainscreens are an important topic for the building envelope and enclosures. This course enforces the use of control layers to maximize the use of a drained, backed ventilated rainscreen system performance for both new and existing buildings. Audience will learn and be able to identify different rainscreen technologies and how a complete approach is beneficial to a building’s performance, by ensuring compatibility among components and understand the relationship of control layers of the exterior wall assembly for health and safety of occupants. Lastly, the course will review this approach using real- world rainscreen systems.
Learning Objectives
- Examine various rainscreen design and project examples, which illustrates the importance of a complete design approach.
- Identify and describe the various rainscreen technologies and control layers of the building envelope and enclosures.
- Explain the relationship of building performance with health and safety.
- Explore the complete approach to rainscreen design and summarize the importance of compatibility among components within each layer.
