METALCON Online Webinar RAiNA - It Takes a Village
For several decades, the building industry’s primary response to the demand for higher performance walls has been rainscreens. Although considered by many to be the gold standard for wall design, the definition of rainscreen and best practices for design has little consensus within codes, industry standards, designers, test standards, and manufacturers.
A new industry-led association is seeking to address some of these discontinuities in the industry. Established in 2020, RAiNA is bringing stakeholders together from across the building industry to develop standard definitions;
interface with the building code;align testing standards; and share knowledge with designers, contractors, and manufacturers with the goal of improving performance of rainscreen walls.
