In one aspect at least one seal is positioned in the first gap and abutting both the second component and the first component and at least one seal positioned in the second gap and abutting both the sash assembly and the frame structure to provide improved insulation effectiveness.

The disclosed subject matter relates to an apparatus for detachable fastening of a glass pane to a substructure, comprising a block strip that is subdivided into a block piece to block the glass pane on one of its peripheral sides and a holding piece to lie against the substructure, the block strip having at least one opening for fastening means for detachable fastening of the block strip to the substructure, and a bonding strip, an outer surface of which is bondable with one side of the glass pane, wherein the holding piece has a projection and the bonding strip engages the projection on the side facing away from the block piece when the glass pane is in the fastened state.

A reflection glass curtainwall fixing by flexibly pressing and with hidden cable includes a cable, glass panels, a support fixed to the cable, limiting grooves opened at sides of the glass panels facing the cable, two limiting sliders which are slidably connected to the support and have a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration, and two limiting frame which are respectively located at two sides of the cable, each limiting frame comprises two connecting rods, and when the two limiting sliders are in the locked configuration, the free ends of the two connecting rods snap into the respective limiting grooves at the corresponding sides; and when the two limiting sliders are in the unlocked configuration, the free ends of the two connecting rods are respectively disengaged from the limiting grooves at the respective sides.

A building facade system for covering a building facade including a building wall and a window opening, comprising at least one window assembly mountable to mullions provided across the window opening and a plurality of wall assemblies surrounding the at least one window assembly, each wall assembly being independently mountable onto rails extending across the building wall. The at least one window assembly is configured to reduce thermal flow between an interior environment and an exterior environment, and includes a bypass insulating profile extending from a connection insulating profile externally towards a window panel and inwardly over an exterior profile, to define an air chamber between the bypass insulating profile and an inward surface of the exterior profile.

A building facade system includes framework having shelf members secured to the floor slabs. Vertical mullions are fastened to the shelf members and thereby hang therefrom. The mullions extend below the floor slab and include a riser portion extending above the floor slab. Horizontal support members fastened to the mullions support infill panels and are coupled to horizontal cap members which are fastened to the top terminal ends of the mullion riser portions. Intermediate support members fastened to the mullions support slab edge cover panels which can be opaque. Posts are fastened to the shelf members and are secured to the floor slabs within embedded channels. The posts are horizontally and vertically adjustably fastenable to the shelf members. The shelf members are thereby horizontally and vertically adjustable relative to the floor slabs. The weight of the panels, mullions and shelf members is transferred through the posts to the floor slab.

A building facade system includes framework having shelf members secured to the floor slabs. The top terminal ends of vertical mullions are fastened to the shelf members, thereby hanging the mullions therefrom. Horizontal support members fastened to the mullions support infill panels and are coupled to shelf members which are on the below floor slab. Intermediate support members fastened to the mullions support slab edge cover panels. Posts are fastened to the shelf members and are secured to the floor slabs within troughs formed with embedded channels. The posts are horizontally and vertically adjustably fastenable to the shelf members. The shelf members are thereby also horizontally and vertically adjustable relative to the floor slabs. Terminal edges of the floor slabs can project into mullion cutouts.

An exterior wall panel with a vented insulated glass unit with the air space between the glass panes pressure equalized with exterior air. The vented insulated glass unit is configured to eliminate the requirement for a perfect seal around the insulated glass unit perimeter, limit water condensation within the insulated glass unit, limit water infiltration, and maintain thermal insulation performance.

A modular system includes a first pair of modular units and a second pair of modular units to be disposed above the first pair of modular units. The first pair of modular units includes brackets configured to be coupled to a faade trim. The second pair of modular units includes brackets configured to be coupled to a faade trim. The brackets of the first pair of modular units are spaced apart from one another a different distance than the brackets of the second pair of modular units are spaced apart from one another.

An outer covering of a building includes anchor bolts configured to extend outwardly from an exterior side of floor support structures of the building, a plurality of anchor plates that adjustably mount to the plurality of anchor bolts, and a plurality of spandrel units that mount to an exterior side of the plurality of anchor plates. Each of the plurality of spandrel units includes a first mounting structure that receives a first outer covering section from above and supports a dead weight and lateral load of the first outer covering section via a corresponding one of the plurality of anchor plates and associated anchor bolts, and a second mounting structure configured to rotationally receive a second outer covering section after dead weight of the second outer covering section is loaded on an adjacent spandrel unit located below that one of the plurality of spandrel units.
