PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The terms “window wall” and “curtainwall” are often used interchangeably, but describe significantly different fenestration systems. Window wall differs from curtainwall in appearance, anchorage and interface with building substrates, and proper selection and integration are important early considerations for the design team.
This Wausau AIA/CES presentation covers systems used for exterior fenestration on upper floors of commercial, institutional, education and mixed use buildings, suitable for use in high rise applications, intended for minimal maintenance over the life of the fenestration, and installed with or without protection by overhangs. Storefront systems for ground floor or low rise use in restaurants, retail and mall spaces, spec office buildings, or single family residences are not addressed.
Topics include fenestration provisions of the International Building Code, structural design criteria, system types, sightlines and movement accommodation, as well as ease of installation, functionality and performance .
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Understand the definitional differences between architectural window wall and curtainwall.
2. Review span, load, substrate interfaces, movement, and system types.
3. Design for ease of installation; handling, distribution, sequencing and leave out bays.
4. Incorporate accessible operable windows and doors.
5. Ensure performance; weather ability, energy efficiency and structural integrity.
