Thermal transfer through curtain wall systems is one of the most critical aspects of building façade performance. When designing glass façades for high-rise buildings, such as The Landmark Tower in Abu Dhabi, accurate thermal transmittance (U-value) calculations determine how much heat passes through glazing, mullions, and transoms. SCHÜCO, a global leader in façade and aluminium […]
