Moisture intrusion in a wall system can be the cause of building defects, as well as health ailments for the building's occupants, making rainscreens a very important tool in water mitigation. This course will review the cause and effects of moisture intrusion, and more specifically the forces that drive rainwater into a building. Identify different rainscreen technologies and American Society for Testing and Materials testing standards that measure their performance. Discuss fiber cement panels and how they can be used as a rainscreen to reduce moisture build-up, rotting interior walls, and mold growth.
