Course description: AEC Daily: Natural Slate Rainscreen Cladding Systems
Slate has been used for centuries as a long-lasting building material, and its natural beauty is unsurpassed. Today, rainscreen cladding systems have been developed to adapt natural slate to new architectural demands for sustainable building design approaches. This course explores the energy efficiency and moisture management benefits of a rainscreen system in combination with the durability and versatility of slate. The different designs and fastening systems are reviewed, and case studies demonstrate the advantages and possibilities for sustainable and beautiful slate projects.
Describe the benefits of slate as a durable, nontoxic, versatile material that can be responsibly produced with minimal environmental impacts.
Explain the advantages of a rainscreen cladding system in terms of thermal comfort, moisture management, and indoor air quality.
Discuss the installation and design options of slate rainscreen cladding systems that have EPDs, long service lives, and reuse potential as part of sustainably designed projects.
Use case study examples to recognize the role of slate rainscreen cladding systems in an array of applications, including net-zero-energy buildings, biophilic designs, and projects built in extreme climates.
