<p>The aim of this report is to give a concise description of curtain walls, what it is and why they are used. It is also a description of six different but commonly used design technologies. By giving a detailed description of the different types and there special properties, the pros and cons will be clarified. The three most interesting alternatives were selected to be included in a test, to show the best alternative from a certain point of view.</p><p>The parameters are:</p><p>• Environment</p><p>• Cost</p><p>• Ergonomics</p><p>• Isolation against noise and fire</p><p>• Durability</p><p>These are important parameters in the planning and design phase. The report contains a summary about each parameter and what is important to pay attention to during construction work.</p><p>The test is based on these parameters and by allotting points to each wall according to properties, for each parameter a best choice can be pointed out.</p><p>The report ends up with a discussion about the result and what are the most important properties. The end result shows the points per parameter for each wall.</p>
