Course Description:
Window wall systems are installed slab–to-slab and can be installed more economically than curtain wall systems, while still providing the performance required in a high-rise application. This presentation gives a proper understanding of the benefits and options available with window wall systems and how these are a great solution for multifamily projects and more.

Course Description:
Standard architectural aluminum framing products can be a key element of a design team’s sustainability strategy. Standard components offered in architectural aluminum framing products can be major drivers for potential points in three categories: Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources and Indoor Environmental Quality. Join us as we examine the impacts of aluminum framing on whole-building performance, energy efficiency, material utilization and occupant well-being.

Course Description:
As construction methods and delivery requirements have changed to evolve and meet new demands, manufacturers now offer a wide array of framing options. Architectural aluminum framing systems can be broken down into several subcategories, including storefront framing, curtain wall, window wall, windows, entrances and more. While each shares some common characteristics, they are also quite different and designed for specific applications. This presentation focuses on these systems—storefront, curtain wall and window wall—and the unique features and characteristics of each, along with their advantages and disadvantages and examples of applications each is designed for. You will better understand the uniqueness of each system and how to select the correct one based on a specific project’s needs.
