Curtain Wall Systems compiles a basic review of the many aspects of curtain wall systems that affect their design and performance. It highlights the materials used to manufacture curtain walls for low-rise to high-rise construction and describes different types of tests, mockups, and inspections. Methods of improving the energy performance, waterproofing, and wind loading of curtain walls are assessed. Specialized aspects of curtain wall design and analysis for extreme events, such as earthquake and bomb blast, are explored. Innovative façade design and new curtain wall and glazing systems are covered as well. MOP 126 is written for architects, structural engineers, HVAC engineers, general contractors, building owners, and building operators who are new to curtain wall systems and want to learn more about this specialized and emerging field.

《幕墙系统》对影响其设计和性能的幕墙系统的许多方面进行了基本回顾。它强调了用于制造低层到高层建筑的幕墙的材料，并描述了不同类型的测试、模拟和检查。评估了改善幕墙的能源性能、防水和风载的方法。探讨了幕墙设计和极端事件分析的专门方面，如地震和炸弹爆炸。创新的幕墙设计和新的幕墙和玻璃系统也包括在内。MOP126是为建筑师、结构工程师、暖通空调工程师、总承包商、建筑业主和建筑运营商编写的，他们是幕墙系统的新手，希望了解这一专业和新兴领域的更多知识。
