The presentation provides information from a recent study undertaken by Dow Corning which examines the thermal performance of a range of curtain walling systems. It aims to demonstrate that the method of attachment of the glazing has a direct impact on the overall thermal performance of a system.
– understand the meaning of a U Value and window energy ratings
– raise awareness concerning the drivers for energy efficiency in Europe
– review the study results of different types of generic curtain wall systems and how this affects energy
