RAiNA Education: Built to Endure - Designing Durable and Thermally Efficient Facades with Stainless-Steel Rainscreen Attachment Systems

Wednesday, April 29, 2026 (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM) (EDT)

Description

REGISTRATION COMING SOON


Modern high-performance facades demand attachment systems that can balance energy efficiency, durability, and design flexibility. This course examines how stainless-steel clip and rail rainscreen systems contribute to the long-term health, safety, and welfare of building occupants through improved envelope performance and resilience. Through an in-depth case study, participants will explore how customized attachment detailing supported both the architectural vision and performance goals of a real-world project. The session will address best practices in material selection, thermal isolation, and integration with air and moisture barriers to support healthy, durable, and efficient buildings.

Learning Objectives
  1. Identify the critical role rainscreen attachment systems play in maintaining facade durability, controlling moisture and protecting building occupants' health and safety.
  2. Compare stainless steel with alternative attachment materials in terms of corrosion resistance, longevity and structural reliability to ensure safe and durable building envelopes.
  3. Evaluate strategies for minimizing thermal bridging and improving energy efficiency in rainscreen wall assemblies that contribute to occupant comfort and reduced environmental impact. 
  4. Analyze a real-world project example to understand how customized rainscreen attachment details can align with architectural design intent while achieving measurable performance outcomes.
