For much of the past two decades, advances in facade design have centered on transparency. Thermal PerformanceThe growing emphasis on building efficiency has placed new attention on the thermal performance of the facade. Facade systems that support lower U-factors and enhanced thermal control can help project teams improve energy efficiency and maintain design flexibility. As a result, architects increasingly evaluate sound control alongside thermal performance when selecting facade systems.
