Title: Glass Construction Manual by Christian Schittich, Gerald Staib, Dieter Balkow, Matthias Schuler, Werner Sobek ISBN: 3-7643-6077-1 Publisher: Birkhauser (Architectural) Pub. Date: October, 1999 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $140.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4 (2 reviews)

Summary: Professional grade
Comment: This is a complete compendium of engineering information for the most typical use of glass--as a window. Everything needed to analyze a building's energy budget--at least for the German climate--is presented and well explained, as is daylighting. Atria and double leaf facades are discussed at the end to summarize the principles. There is also a comprehensive section on the mechanical properties of glass: resistance to wind loads, how to attach it, etc.
Only downside is the quality of the translation (I assume), which results in an occasional unusual sentence: "As no energy can be lost from the total system, the balance of the incident energy must be able to be resolved mathematically."
Nothing that impairs understanding though.
Rating: 3
Summary: Beautifull, Informative, and well done
Comment: This is one of the better books that I have seen on the topic of curtain wall design. It is full of very accurate amd well explained techincal information as well labeled details. The project section is a comprehensive study of some of the most complex curtain walls built. This section is full of detail drawings and color images of the built details. This is a MUST HAVE book for anyone working on complex wall systems, or anyone interested in the state of the art in curtain wall design.
