Glazing infill panels offer a flexible solution for integrating performance and inspiring design within the modern building envelope. This course examines how these panels function in façade, curtain wall, and storefront systems and compares them to glass in addressing thermal performance, structural demands, weight, and installation challenges.
Program content identifies key aspects of factory fabrication — including tested performance and warranty coverage— and contrasts these with characteristics of alternatives produced in the field. Participants develop strategies for specifying glazing infill panels that support energy efficiency, safety, code compliance, and design goals.
Learning objectives:
- Describe how glazing infill panels support performance and aesthetics in the building envelope, and how they integrate into façade, curtain wall, and storefront systems.
- Compare glazing infill panels and glass in terms of thermal performance, structural capacity, weight, and installation impacts.
- Explain how factory fabrication, tested performance, and warranty coverage influence glazing infill panel quality and reliability, and how these factors differ from field-fabricated alternatives.
- Plan glazing infill panel selection and specification strategies that address energy, safety, and design requirements while supporting project efficiency.
