The unit curtain wall is an exterior finish currently used on the exterior walls of high-rise buildings. Curtain walls used as non-endurance walls are largely classified into stick curtain walls and unit curtain walls, and their use has recently been on the rise to reduce risks at construction sites through factory manufacturing. Accordingly, this study attempted to examine the insulation performance according to the shape of the unit curtain wall profile through insulation simulation.

Curtain wall (for the outside wall) must be designed and constructed to resist weather condition of nature like rain. wind and surrounding environment. So, Now days, Mock-up test of curtain wall's total capability is generally used for skycraft building. But, Mock-up test specification in korea is so weak that there are lots of disputation. Also, lacking of clearness in specification causes many trouble in adaptation. Therefore, I would like to consider the problem of Mock-up test specification by inspecting and comparing with other country's works. and I will mention the way of approvement in our specification.

This paper is to develop curtain wall process life-cycle system in high-rise buildings in order to establish effective cooperation communication channels among the diverse constituents. This paper is to provide a base toward a curtain wall life-cycle management system to support decision making and the effective flow in light of information and materials. The four objectives of the research are 1) the analysis of the current curtain wall life-cycle process, 2) the analysis and development of the curtain wall design process As-Is model, and 3) the Muda analysis of the design process As-Is model and the suggestion of the improvements, 4) the development of curtain wall design To-Be model and comparative analysis of the improvement in terms of value streams. This research indicates the wastes decrease (or the values increase) from 6.7% up to 100% in different decision criteria through the improvement by the comparative analysis between the As-ls and To-Be curtain wall design process. This research suggests the potential improvement by VSM and a curtain wall life-cycle management system in curtain wall construction for diverse constituents be significant.

Due to the following reasons, the management of curtain wall parts and material is very Important. Firstly, curtain wall work is one of the main works in High-rise building construction for it takes about $10{\sim}15%$ of the total construction cost. Secondly, the whole process of curtain wall work including manu acture, delivery, storage, installation and maintenance is very complicated and sometimes more than 30 companies involve in the process. Thus there are many control points for curtain wall units. Thirdly, there are not enough space on site for material storage and this situation is more serious for sites in urban area. The purpose of this research is to validate an information systems using RFID technology that is developed to manage the curtain wall units following the process of curtain wall work. For the validation, the cycle times of curtain wall work before and a ter the system was used. The results show that using the systems shorten the cycle time of the curtain wall work. Thus it is concluded that the system can increase the efficiency of managing curtain wall work.

In this study, the fire risk of the curtain wall structure was compared with a general structure among the double envelope structure using a fire simulation program. To this end, a fire-story building curtain wall was modeled as virtual using the PyroSim based on a fire simulation program (FDS). And then, the fires occurred in the model, divided by curtain wall non-applied model and applied model, in the same structure and place. To identify the fire characteristics, smoke behavior characteristics, viewing distance, and volume fractions of CO and $CO_2$ were comparative analyzed. As a result, it was identified that the curtain wall applied model quickly filled with smoke from the top floor to under the floor compared to the curtain wall non-applied model. From this study, the fire risk of curtain wall structure was evaluated in detail using the fire simulations.

Today, the curtain wall is used in many construction projects because of excellent economical efficiency and constructability. The life-cycle process of curtain wall construction consists of the architectural design, curtain wall design, manufacturing, const겨ction, and maintenance phase which has become one of the most important objects that have to be managed. Since the general management method focused on each separated phase, it has accompanied many problems such as increases of the cost and duration, and loss of productivity. To solve these problems, it is necessa교 to have a new management method based on supply chain management. Thus this research analysed the processes of stick system, semi-unit system, unit system, and panel system classified by the type of the curtain wall, and suggested proper methods of application of SCM concept to each type of curtain wall construction.

Technologies on energy saving and materials used in curtain walls have progressed with increase of high-rise and large buildings. This study is explain fire resistance performance of the curtain walls. And focused on bond strength of light-weight inorganic ceramic board in high temperature for fire resistant curtain-wall system. From the result, curtain-wall system high fire resistant using the light-weight inorganic ceramic board.

The purposes of this study were to analyze criteria for measurement chamber design dedicated curtain wall, and how to measure of performance configuration and status of the chamber that is currently being used. Main dealing criteria is AAMA 1503-09. Measurement of data is made in curtain wall Mock-up experiment station with thermal imaging camera. Measurement data using thermal imaging cameras at Mock-up curtain was made at the test site. The results of this study were as follows; There is no U-value test method for actual size of curtain wall. The thermal test outdoor chamber showed heat loss in the connection part of indoor and outdoor chamber. And the indoor chamber showed unstable temperature distribution by height.

Automation in construction has been restricted to special classes of tasks. Curtain walls can be handled like standard construction materials; they are heavy but breakable, and are large but require precise installation. These characteristics make the installation of curtain walls ideal for robotic automation. There are two methods for developing construction robots: The first is approving the robot performance and applying it to the current construction methods. The second is admitting the limitation of the current robot technology and trying to optimize the current method of construction to apply the robot system. In this study, we derived the performance requirements of a curtain wall-installation robot. We also tested this robot at a real construction site and evaluated its performance. Finally, the results were analyzed, and we proposed additional research.

Curtain wall is constructed in various forms and designs by forming the exterior walls of a building, and refers to non-bearing walls that divide the exterior and interior spaces of a building. Curtain walls require not only wind pressure, but also waterproof, insulation, insulation, and durability, as well as the effects of recent frequent earthquakes. Studies on the sleeve used to connect the vertical member mullions in the process of high-rise curtain walls are insufficient. In this study, sleeves connecting curtain wall mullions were developed to absorb external displacement, and the purpose of this study was to evaluate economic feasibility through comparison with existing construction methods.
