Technical FAQs 4

Are curtain wall support structures safe?

As a critical load-bearing system of the building facade, the safety and reliability of curtain wall support structures directly affect the overall performance of the building.

How can curtain walls improve the performance of a building?

Integration scenarios are evaluated through SWOT analysis and performance criteria. The performance of curtain walls is enhanced by integrating adaptive technologies. Energy efficiency and the reduction of carbon emissions have become the main climate goals for newly constructed or existing buildings.

Does Photovoltaic Glass fit in a curtain wall?

No, the BIPV photovoltaic glass structurally does not differ from other types of conventional glazing. Therefore, it is integrated into the building envelope (curtain wall, façade, or skylight) like any construction material. What solar control and comfort advantages does photovoltaic glass offer in a curtain wall?

What is a photovoltaic curtain wall?

They enhance thermal comfort and help prevent the greenhouse effect. A standard curtain wall offers no return on investment. In contrast, a photovoltaic curtain wall not only insulates the building but also generates power for over 30 years. This reduces monthly electricity bills and ultimately pays for itself over time.
