Grimm, Clayford T.; Gross, James G. – 1958
The need for economic analysis of building walls is discussed, and the factors influencing the ultimate cost of exterior walls are studied. The present worth method is used to analyze three types of exterior non-loadbearing panel or curtain walls. Anticipated costs are expressed in terms of their present value per square foot of wall area. The…

Environmental Systems Corp., Atlanta, GA. – 1967
Occupant comfort in glass facade buildings is the problem for which a solution is suggested. Optimum comfort is obtained by intercepting radiant heat before it enters the room. Through a combination of luminaires, induction boxes, and louvers, a "Lite-Therm System" is presented which integrates lighting, heating, and cooling systems into the…
