ARE Exam Prep: Rainscreen System for PPD & PDD | ARE Lab

This video examines rainscreen systems as a sophisticated architectural strategy that prioritizes moisture management through a "drain and dry" philosophy. While these systems often require higher upfront construction costs due to complex components like sub-framing and air cavities, they significantly lower long-term life-cycle expenses by preventing structural rot and mold. The technical essence of a rainscreen lies in its layered configuration, which includes a cladding layer, a ventilated air gap for pressure equalization, and a water-resistive barrier. This functional framework can be applied to various materials, ranging from traditional brick veneers to modern metal panels and high-performance curtain walls. Ultimately, the texts emphasize that the effectiveness of a rainscreen depends on maintaining a continuous air gap and proper drainage details to ensure building durability.
