This paper presents a proposed laboratory test protocol for assessing the effectiveness of wall-window interface details with regard to management of rainwater, and provides a rationale for a performance-based approach to the evaluation method. An overview of the test approach is provided and details of the test apparatus and test specimen are given, including information on implementation of the test method. Examples of testing performed according to the proposed protocol are provided. Finally additional tests for evaluating the performance of installation details are suggested. The additional tests are for field evaluation of installation details, and for laboratory evaluation of installation details with regard to the risk of condensation along window frames.On pr\ue9sente dans ce document un protocole d?essai en laboratoire propos\ue9 aux fins de l?\ue9valuation de l?efficacit\ue9 des d\ue9tails d?interface mur-fen\ueatre relativement \ue0 la gestion de l?admission de l?eau de pluie, et l?on fournit le fondement d?une approche \ue0 la m\ue9thode d?\ue9valuation qui est ax\ue9e sur la performance. Nous donnons une vue d?ensemble de l?approche d?essai, ainsi que les d\ue9tails de l?appareil d?essai et du sp\ue9cimen d?essai, y compris de l?information sur la mise en application de la m\ue9thode retenue. Des exemples de la mise \ue0 l?essai r\ue9alis\ue9e selon le protocole propos\ue9 sont fournis. Enfin, des essais suppl\ue9mentaires pour fin d?\ue9valuation de la performance des d\ue9tails de pose sont sugg\ue9r\ue9s. Les essais suppl\ue9mentaires visent l?\ue9valuation in situ des d\ue9tails de pose, ainsi que leur \ue9valuation en laboratoire quant au risque de condensation le long des encadrements.Peer reviewed: YesNRC publication: Ye
