Rainscreen Assemblies: A Quick Guide to High‑Performance Cladding Support Systems

What comprises a rainscreen assembly? What does it have to do with continuous insulation (CI)? What should be considered when selecting a sub-framing system in a rainscreen assembly with CI? How are structural, thermal, fire, and air/ water performance requirements addressed for these systems? This nano course will answer these questions and review the essential design considerations for selecting these systems.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Recognize the components of rainscreen assemblies
  • Identify the energy codes that influence design requirements
  • Understand continuous insulation’s (CI) role in achieving optimal thermal performance
  • Interpret the benefits and challenges of various sub-framing systems in used in CI assemblies
  • Define structural, thermal, fire, and air/ water performance requirements for rainscreen assemblies with continuous insulation

Approximately 30 minutes. Delivered via webinar or face-to-face presentation. Available sessions shown below.
