A construction element A comprises a) at least one pane of glass B; and b) a frame C made of a non-coated thermoset polymeric composite material with a polymer matrix which is based on at least 50 wt.-% of an aliphatic polyisocyanate; and c) optionally at least one sealant D that connects the pane of glass B with frame C. It is characterized by an excellent long term weathering resistance, high durability and low maintenance efforts.

A panel support and panel processing system that provides a single frame assembly for use on a panel processing line in transporting and installing panels, such as glass panels, the frame assembly having a frame with at least one hook that engages a carrier on a processing line to move the frame from one station to the next, and that enables lifting and stacking of multiple frames for transport to and installation at a building site without having to remove the panel, such as a glass panel, from the frame, at which point the frame and panel assembly are secured in situ.

Different window assemblies can be fabricated and installed where the size of an electrical component is sized for a particular geometry of the window assembly. In a particular embodiment, an energy rating, which may include an energy consumption rate, a recharge rate, a recharge capacity, an electrical current leakage rate, another suitable parameter, or any combination thereof, may be used when determining the size of the electrical component to be used. If needed or desired, one or more trim panels can be used to cover portions of a window assembly to make the window more aesthetically pleasing.
