Modular curtain walls are frequently used in the facades of tall buildings. While these logically have to meet the performance standards required of all facade systems, they are subject to a series of additional requirements that place far higher demands on these systems than the facades of conventional buildings, this being particularly so with respect to certain structural or thermal requirements. Sustainability is a further factor that is particularly necessary and convenient to consider during the design of facades in these types of buildings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
