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

The Science and Engineering Complex (SEC) on the Allston Campus is the largest new building at Harvard University in recent decades with a footprint
In recent decades the use of unitized glazing systems has become increasingly common especially for high-rise construction. The opaque panels in
Thermal bridging through building façades have been overlooked by designers and building energy codes and standards in the past, which has led to
The traditional building facade as a permanent construction does not actively respond to the differing needs from varying weather conditions.
This paper discusses a simulation study of different window systems, where heat transfer simulations were performed to investigate thermal
