other design consideration of curtain wall

Thermal Performance
(Conduction, Solar Radiation, Thermal Break, Comfort)

Thermal performance of opaque areas of the curtain wall is a function of insulation and air/vapor barriers.

Moisture Protection
(Water Penetration, Condensation Resistance)

Wind driven rains and condensation are considerably problematic and difficult to deal with while curtain wall is designed in addition to gravity, kinetic energy, capillary action and surface tension which increase the possibility of water ingression. There are five different types of forces such as gravity, kinetic energy, capillary action, surface tension and air pressure difference that contribute either partially or as a whole to the ingression of water
