Hygrothermal Efficiency of Retrofit Rainscreens for Existing Buildings



Presented By

 

Garland Industries, Inc.


Participants will discuss the importance of air barriers, vapor control, and thermal control in wall assemblies. They will recognize potential sources of energy and water leaks in existing wall assemblies, measure and model these assemblies in WUFI, and illustrate rainscreen design principles to manage moisture, air, and vapor. Additionally, they will model redesigned wall assemblies to forecast future performance. This course equips professionals with essential skills for retrofitting buildings to improve efficiency and durability.

Learning Objectives:


  • Discuss the importance of air barriers, vapor control, and thermal control in wall assemblies.


  • Recognize the potential source of energy and water leaks in existing wall assemblies.


  • Illustrate rainscreen design principles to manage moisture, air, and vapor


  • Model redesigned wall assemblies to forecast potential environmental risks.
