Assess suitability by examining wind loads, acoustic performance, fire & egress integration, façade maintenance access, and metal framing robustness for dense high-rise contexts.
Common pitfalls: late façade engineering, inconsistent metal finishes, ignoring maintenance, insufficient mockups, poor drainage, and mismatched structural tolerances.
Key design priorities for specifying a glass curtain wall: structural performance, thermal/solar control, metal frame aesthetics, buildability and maintenance strategy.
Early choices—system type, modularity, metal finish, slab tolerances, access planning and procurement—drive cost, schedule and quality for curtain walls.
Integration strategies for metal sunshades, louvers, operable elements and PV/green facades with glass curtain walls to balance performance and aesthetics.
Practical strategies—glass selection, frits, metal shading, interior layout and controls—to increase daylight while limiting glare and thermal gain in curtain wall designs.
