Course Overview This session was originally presented at the 2025 IIBEC Building Enclosure Symposium in St. Louis, Missouri.  This course includes the following components: recording of the live session a summative assessment consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions two surveys required to claim continuing education credit   Description Building codes now prescribe minimum drainage spaces for distinct cladding types. The intent is to provide a more efficient release of water that has penetrated beyond the cladding. Compliance is also achieved with proven drainage efficiencies as tested in accordance with ASTM E2273. One prevailing assumption is that gap size and drainage efficiency are inexorably linked. However, this notion is challenged by the advent of drainage wraps and other products offering smaller yet efficient drainage spaces. This session will examine drainage efficiencies of full-scale test walls configured with fiber cement panels and gap depths of 10 mm or 1.5 mm. Key considerations including variances in water application rates and the effects of moisture absorption at drainage interfaces will be discussed. The fate of residual water within the drainage space is further explored with hygrothermal simulations for multiple North American climates. Presenter/Author M. Steven Doggett, PhD Principal Materials Scientist Built Environments Steven Doggett is the founder of Built Environments Inc., a building science research firm with a special focus on resilient enclosure systems. His practice draws from extensive experience with building enclosure failures, particularly those involving air, heat, and moisture transport. He merges this expertise with durable design practices, novel test methods, and advanced simulation techniques. Doggett’s primary work centers on research and development of high-performance building products. He is actively engaged in product evaluation, testing and failure analysis, and development of innovative building materials. Presenter/Author Jarrett Davis, AMB, CGP, CDT, LEED AP BD+C Principal Building Scientist Built Environments Jarrett Davis has been involved with evolving and facilitating the change of the built environment around the globe, while maintaining the attitude required for high performance construction, design, and execution. Often found speaking to trade associations, Architects and Engineers, and frequently lecturing to college classrooms on the Building Sciences and construction measures. He has been engaged by product manufacturers to develop extensive R&D, testing, and installation manual procedures and systems for acceptance in the construction industry. But you can usually find him in the air teaching his kids how to fly and understanding physics at work. Author Mathew Congleton Project Engineer Built Environments Working as a technical specialist and project engineer for Built Environments, Mathew Congleton draws upon years of experience in the disaster response industry as an insurance adjuster, loss consultant, and damage appraiser. After personally witnessing the aftermath of catastrophic weather events such as hurricanes, tornados, floods, and wildfires, he understands the vulnerabilities inherent in building structures and the need for resilient design. This firsthand experience, coupled with a degree in construction management, and certifications such as the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety Fortified Evaluator designation, has equipped him with a detailed grasp of building science principles.
