After forty years, moisture and water infiltration had compromised the facade, and the Anchorage School District wanted a high-performance solution capable of withstanding the rigors of the Alaskan climate.
This article explores the significant design, engineering, and long-term performance benefits of an integrated rainscreen system compared to a non-integrated component assembly.
This milestone underscores both the strength of the AdaptaClad RS system and the value of strategic collaboration
April 8, 2026
Laminators Incorporated announced that its AdaptaClad™ RS system has achieved expanded NFPA 285 compliance, marking a significant advancement in the system’s validated performance within fire-resistive wall assemblies.
Applying building science principles to insulation selection and envelope design helps control water, air, vapor, and heat for improved durability, efficiency, and occupant comfort
Modeling and evaluating envelope performance during the design phase can help identify potential issues early, while thoughtful material selection allows designers to balance performance, aesthetics, and long-term value.
Advanced Self-Expanding Mineral Wool Technology Prevents Flame Spread in Ventilated Exterior Wall Cavities in Rainscreen Applications
March 24, 2026
Tenmat announced the completion of another successful NFPA285 test incorporating Tenmat’s FF102/50 Intumescent Fireblocking and Hoover Architectural Solutions, LLC’s Reynobond 4mm FR Aluminum Composite Material.
On-Demand In this presentation, we will cover exactly what can be expected of PVC roof membranes and the differences among PVC, PVC-KEE and TPO. This will lead to an in-depth discussion of which projects benefit most from the unique properties of PVC and PVC-KEE membranes, including specific case studies.
On-Demand The science of buildings and how they perform is not often a focus during school, but can become a specialty in practice. Topics such as vapor movement, a robust thermal envelope and condensation prevention are ones that cause issues in many buildings.
On-Demand:This webinar will discuss the many components that make up a liquid applied roof, how they fit into the building code, and what types of projects can really benefit from these types of systems.
On-Demand This presentation will uncover the differences between air barriers and vapor retarders and the benefits of each to improving the durability and efficiency of your building enclosure. Additionally, it will discuss critical installation details as it relates to the roof and roof/wall interface.
On-DemandThis course explores the essential code mandates, types, and configurations of water-resistive barriers (WRBs) in exterior wall assemblies. Originally developed to protect moisture-sensitive components in framed wall construction, WRBs have since become a mandated safeguard, ensuring the longevity and performance of structural assemblies.
On-Demand In this webinar, participants will get a taste of what it takes to make steel today, in the cleaner, high-tech factories that are very different from the steel mills of decades ago, and will see how their specification language and design practices can help reduce the carbon footprint of buildings using steel framing.
On-Demand The session will also examine various roof and wall assemblies, supported by lab tests and real-world data. Finally, we'll cover essential quality assurance protocols, including building enclosure commissioning and whole building airtightness testing, to ensure your designs perform as intended.
Credits: 1 AIA LU/Elective; 0.1 ICC CEU; 0.1 IACET CEU On-Demand In this session, we will learn the fundamentals of all successful AE firms and provide the basis for making well-grounded business decisions. We will learn how firms can transition from being professionals providing services, to highly tuned businesses that can identify the needs of the marketplace and create services and products that are appropriately priced and yield consistent and greater profits.
On-Demand This presentation will help designers better understand how moisture moves through airflow by diffusion. We will discuss permeability of materials and its impact on the performance of enclosure assemblies.
On-Demand Through this course, learn about how specifying the roof edge is the single most cost-effective enhancement for wind uplift on a commercial roof and how you can help mitigate risk and protect lives through design.
