California's 2025 Title 24 energy code is now in effect, raising U-factor and SHGC requirements for curtain wall and window systems. Here's what it means for your project.

GlassBuild America 2026 (Las Vegas, Sept 23–25) points to energy performance, daylighting, and testing rigor as the defining priorities for North American curtain wall buyers this year, alongside a growing push toward automation for customized production — themes that align with FOWALL's existing product and QA standards, independent of the event itself.

As California's Title 24 and similar codes across North America tighten curtain wall performance thresholds — including a new mandatory U-factor baseline and stricter SHGC limits — buyers need up-to-date, NFRC-certified performance data rather than assuming past specifications still clear code.

As energy codes and lifecycle concerns push project teams to rethink how much glass a facade really needs, curtain wall design is shifting toward treating glazing ratio, framing, and infill as one system-level decision rather than maximizing glass area by default.

Australia’s anti-dumping probe into Chinese aluminum windows and doors heads to a final report; curtain wall is excluded.
