Curtainwalls continue to gain prominence as integrated envelope solutions that are essential to creating high performance buildings. This important glazing component not only ensures optimal daylight transmittance and thermal control, it also impacts occupant health and comfort, building security, and disaster resilience. These multi-faceted benefits of curtainwalls are only possible with high quality curtainwall installation.For these reasons, an ISO/IEC 17024 curtainwall personnel certification is seen as a high priority by industry experts. Toward that end, an International Glazier Certification Board organized by Green Advantage has created and approved standards applicable to the US and Canada for a curtainwall installer certification. Piloting and launch of the curtainwall certification is scheduled for 2016. For more information, contact info@greenadvantage.org.
