The Great Spandrel Glass Debate
As we change the rules of thermal performance for facades, we are changing the conditions the glass is subject to in shadow boxes and glazed spandrel…
Glazed wall systems, such as curtain walls and window walls, are one of the most commonly used façade systems in modern buildings in North America.
Today’s building enclosures face ever greater demands regarding their thermal performance. In cold climates, the required total U-value of the façade
