AI for Glass and Glazing
AI applications for architectural glass and glazing systems.
Definition
AI for glass and glazing helps with glazing design, performance analysis, and code compliance. AI can analyze thermal performance, verify structural adequacy, and check code compliance for glazing systems. This improves glazing design quality.
In Depth
Glass and glazing design involves structural analysis (wind loading, impact resistance), thermal performance (U-factor, SHGC, visible transmittance), safety requirements (tempered glass locations per IBC Section 2406), and acoustic performance (STC rating). AI evaluates the glazing specification against all of these criteria for each window and curtain wall location.
The safety glazing analysis identifies every location where the building code requires tempered, laminated, or other safety glazing — doors, sidelights, windows near walking surfaces, glazing near bathtubs and showers, and large panels meeting the hazardous location criteria. AI checks the drawings to verify that safety glazing is specified at every required location, catching the omissions that result in plan review comments or field rejections.
