Presented by Fiberon – March 11, 2026 – 1:00pm ET/12:00pm CT – AIA 1 LU/HSW
Rain control is a critical aspect of building envelope construction, affecting a building’s structural integrity and occupant health. This course presents the rainscreen wall system as an effective strategy for moisture management, as reflected in the WELL Building Standard™ version 2. Discussed are the fundamentals of moisture control in buildings, the history of rainscreens, rainscreen design principles, and cladding material selection, including potential contributions to credit achievement in the LEED® v5 Building Design and Construction rating system.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this program, participants will be able to:
- Identify potential moisture management issues that can cause harm to both a building’s aesthetic and structural integrity as well as occupants’ health and safety
- List four basic components of rainscreen wall systems that help minimize rainwater passage into the wall and effectively dissipates any water remaining back to the exterior
- Compare and contrast the suitability of various cladding materials to serve in rainscreen systems, particularly their durability, sustainability, and safety
- Evaluate proper exterior wall design as a rain screen system for effective moisture management.
- Attendees will receive a 1 LU AIA/HSW credit if they stay for the full 30 minutes.
