Presentation Description: \;

From leaky condos to evolving building codes\, the industry has learned&mdash\;sometimes the hard way&mdash\;that managing rainwater is one of the most critical challenges in building enclosure design. This session offers a practical look at how rainscreen wall assemblies meet that challenge\, from fundamentals to modern high-performance wall systems. Explore why water intrusion occurs\, how wetting and drying must stay in balance\, and why &ldquo\;perfect&rdquo\; barriers aren&rsquo\;t always the best solution. Through clear definitions\, real-world examples\, this session breaks down rain control theory and shows how the drained approach underpins effective rainscreen performance. Rather than framing rainscreens as a product\, this session presents them as a flexible design strategy applicable across building types\, climates\, cladding materials\, and construction methods. Attendees will leave with a deeper appreciation for walls that manage water quietly and reliably.
