How to protect the exterior of the buildings

[Jaswinder Singh]

These days, the protection of the buildings from the effects of the bad weather and strong winds become the great concern of the business owners and homeowners. For the safety of the building’s exterior, curtain walling systems are considered the best. These curtain walling systems are made up of non-structural materials that are installed for the protection and beautification of the buildings.
These systems are generally metallic frames with the embedded with the different shapes of the glass for the decoration the exteriors. Moreover, these systems are of two types one is unitized curtain walling and another one is sticky curtain walling systems.

LP-1: Low-Level Passive Protection
• Select systems to minimize normal exposure.
◦ Dilute indoor air and reduce recirculation.
◦ Minimize leakage in HVAC system and in building (external and internal).
◦ Add filtering as needed for healthy workplace.
◦ Protect air intakes to reduce air contaminants.
◦ Use construction methods and materials that reduce chemical exposure.
• Consider security, site selection, and operational activities that have dual-use advantages for building protection.
LP-2: High-Level Passive Protection (LP-1 + options specific to protection from biological and chemical threat agents)
• Use upgraded protection from biological and chemical threat agents compared to LP-1.
◦ Upgrade filters (particulate and adsorption) specific for biological and chemical threat agents.
◦ Use zoning with graded pressurization (compartmentalized).
◦ Provide local air-washing vestibules.
◦ Protect air intakes specifically to reduce biological and chemical threats.
