    Uploaded by

    MohammedFarook
    This document discusses exterior cladding systems, including their primary functions of keeping water out, preventing air leakage, and controlling light, heat, and sound transfer. It addresses cladding materials like curtain walls made of glass and metal, and prefabricated vs constructed-in-place installation methods. Key concepts covered are the rainscreen principle, pressure equalization chambers, sealant joints, and forces that move water. Design processes for prefabricated cladding are also outlined.
