An approved dynamic construction is used for effectively thermally insulating and sealing of a safing slot between a floor of a building and an exterior wall construction. The exterior wall construction includes a curtain wall configuration defined by an interior wall glass surface, including one or more aluminum framing members. In particular, a process is useful for assembling a fireproof system within a stick build exterior dynamic curtain wall façade, which includes glass, especially vision glass extending to the finished floor level below.

A support framework (101) for building casings (200) using pultruded uprights, a building casing (200) and a building structure (300). A process for realizing and installation of the building structure (300), as well as manufacturing processes of the various components of the framework.

Window wall and curtain wall mullion or transom structures including a component made of a thermally insulating material covering substantially an entirety of an outer side of a metal structural segment where a first fastener passing through the metal structure and into the component is oriented generally parallel to the outer side or parallel to at least one outward facing surface of the metal segment. The insulating component includes a first slot and a second slot configure to receive fasteners where the slots are oriented generally perpendicularly. The component is devoid of penetrations passing through the component to the structure.

A window wall system includes a plurality of window wall modules for forming at least in part a facade of a building. Each window wall module is connected between two consecutive concrete slabs of the building and includes a bottom rail, a top rail, two vertical mullions, and a window panel. The system also includes a plurality of anchoring brackets for connecting the bottom rail of each window wall module to a respective one of the concrete slabs, and a plurality of preformed sealing membranes. Each anchoring bracket is configured to be affixed to a top surface of the respective one of the concrete slabs. Each sealing membrane sealingly engages the bottom rail of a corresponding window wall module. Each sealing membrane is interlocked with a respective one of the anchoring brackets to retain the sealing membrane in place. Each sealing membrane is made of an elastomeric material.

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 elevator cab protection system is provided. The system includes first and second panels and three clips. Each of the clips includes a lower leg portion and an upper leg portion. The first clip is coupled to the first panel by a fastener. The lower leg portion of the first clip and the first panel define a first downwardly opening slot. The second clip is coupled to the first panel by a fastener with the upper leg portion of the second clip located above the upper end of the first panel. The third clip is coupled to the second panel by a fastener. The lower leg portion of the third clip is configured to be inserted into the upwardly opening slot defined by the upper leg portion of the second clip and the wall of the elevator cab to support the second panel relative to the first panel.

The lower leg portion of the third clip is configured to be inserted into the upwardly opening slot defined by the upper leg portion of the second clip and the wall of the elevator cab to support the second panel relative to the first panel.

A building facade system which comprises a frame to support a building facade panel, a unified vertical shear blade anchor, a vertical mullion and an angled anchor member. The unified vertical shear blade anchor has a body portion and a flange extending horizontally therefrom. The flange has top and bottom surfaces with the bottom surface having serrations. The vertical mullion is secured by a shear connection to the vertical shear blade anchor. The shear connection between the vertical mullion and the vertical shear blade anchor is formed by a fastener which extends through side portions of the body portion and vertical mullion. The angle member has first and second flanges each having proximal ends joined together and opposing terminal ends. The second flange has a top surface with upwardly projecting serrations. The upwardly projecting serrations are configured for engagement with the downwardly projecting serrations of the vertical shear blade anchor.

A unitized curtain wall system includes pre-assembled, pre-glazed aluminum framed curtain wall units. Vertical mullion components and top and bottom horizontal rail components interconnect adjacent curtain wall panels. The curtain wall units are suspended from one or more upper anchors installed on an upper floor slab. The bottom horizontal rail components are engaged with top horizontal rail components of adjacent, lower curtain wall units forming a continuous beam scheme for vertical mullion components and configured to accept lateral loads. The gravity loads of curtain wall units are supported by one or more floor anchors. Organic shaped insulating forms are disposed laterally between top and bottom horizontal rail components of adjacent curtain wall panels. The forms are compressible to permit flexing vertical movement of the curtain wall units while reducing air movement in a horizontal cavity formed between the top and bottom horizontal rail components forming a stack joint.
