In modern architectural design, the desire for large glass areas in the exterior wall has stimulated the use of prefabricated panels in curtain wall that are simply building skins with no load-bearing characteristics. Extruded aluminum or steel sections(called mullions) similar to I beams are placed over the frame. Between these mullions, windows and spandrel panels of aluminum, structural glass, marble, or precast concrete are attached. The spandrel panel is located between the head of one window and the sill of the window above. 3, record 1, English, - spandrel%20panel

ICFs [Insulating concrete forms] are used to make structural concrete walls, and can be used to make either foundation or above-grade walls. The forms are typically made from pure foam-plastic insulation but may also be made from a composite of cement and foam insulation or a composite of cement and processed wood. The foam is typically either expanded polystyrene(EPS) or extruded polystyrene(XPS) and occasionally polyurethane. 2, record 3, English, - extruded%20polystyrene

Le polystyrène. Cet isolant en panneaux de mousse plastique est disponible en deux catégories - extrudé (PSX) ou expansé (PSE) et en quatre types (I à IV). Le type I a la plus faible résistance thermique et la plus grande perméabilité à la vapeur d'eau et à l'absorption d'eau; le type IV, la plus haute résistance thermique et la plus faible perméabilité. Les panneaux extrudés sont faits de polystyrène, de solvants et de gaz pressurisé. On note qu'avec le temps, les agents gonflants (HCFC rongeant moins la couche d'ozone que le CFC), le styrène et le chlorure d'éthylène, sont lentement libérés dans l'air ambiant. Le styrène est classifié comme un agent potentiellement cancérogène pour les travailleurs. 2, record 3, French, - polystyr%C3%A8ne%20extrud%C3%A9
