Unit 9 Cladding System Part Ⅱ Passages Passage A Keeping Water Out Cladding must prevent the entry of rain, snow, and ice into a building. This requirement is complicated by the fact that water on the face of building is often driven by wind at high velocities and high air pressures not just in a downward direction, but in every direction, even upward. Unit 9 Cladding System Part Ⅱ Passages Passage A Water problems are especially acute on tall buildings, which present a large profile to the wind at altitudes where wind velocities are much higher than at ground level. Enormous amounts of water must be drained from the windward face of a tall building during a heavy rainstorm, and the water, pushed by wind tends to accumulate in crevices and against projecting mullions, where it will readily penetrate the smallest crack or hole and enter the building. We will devote a
