Designing Durable Wall Systems: Moisture Management in Modern Construction

This podcast course explores the building science behind rainscreen assemblies and ventilated wall systems, emphasizing the role of capillary breaks, drainage gaps, and airflow in protecting occupant health, safety, and long-term building durability. Participants will review the four primary wall design types, examine how evolving IRC and IBC code requirements and ASTM E2925 testing standards influence specification decisions, and discuss common causes of moisture-related failures.
