A key design element for exterior walls is the control of rain penetration. Lack of attention to design principles or failure to implement them in the detailing of wall components may lead to premature deterioration of wall elements as has been evident across Canada in past years.Un \ue9l\ue9ment cl\ue9 de la conception des murs ext\ue9rieurs est la protection contre la p\ue9n\ue9tration de la pluie. Le non-respect des principes de conception ou leur n\ue9gligence pour les d\ue9tails de construction se rapportant aux composantes du mur peuvent entrainer la d\ue9gradation pr\ue9matur\ue9e des \ue9l\ue9ments du mur comme ce fut le cas de beaucoup de b\ue2timents au Canada au cours des derni\ue9res ann\ue9es.Dr. Michael A.
