23. An insulation board for use with a building to provide water-drainage, the insulation board comprising:
-
a body including a front surface an da back surface, and protrusions coupled to the front surface of the body to form flow passageways between each protrusion, the protrusions each including a base portion coupled to the front surface of the body and a tip portion spaced-apart from the body, a cross-section of each tip portion taken through a plane parallel to the top surface of the body having a smaller surface area than a surface area of a cross-section of each base portion taken through a plane parallel to the top surface of the body.
