\n<\/strong>To help overcome concerns about adoption of new technology, a full-scale mockup of a high thermally performing curtain wall incorporating architectural insulation modules was recently successfully tested by an independent third-party. Testing was conducted in accordance with American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) 501, Methods of Test for Exterior Walls<\/em>, ensuring acceptable performance for air and water penetration resistance, structural capacity, and vertical and seismic movement requirements.<\/p>\n
