Choosing the right façade system is rarely just a design decision.

Different projects require different priorities—whether that’s larger glazing areas, structural performance, thermal efficiency, constructability, or long-term operational value.

Aluminum systems are often selected for projects with larger openings and commercial façade requirements, but the right choice ultimately depends on the building’s performance goals and how the envelope is expected to function long-term.

Window design decisions rarely happen only once.

Teams test different systems, revise configurations, adjust layouts, and coordinate performance requirements throughout the design process. The challenge is doing all of that efficiently without slowing projects down.

That’s where BIM tools become valuable.

Better digital coordination helps architects move through window design decisions faster, reduce revisions later, and keep teams aligned as projects evolve.

New York City’s building regulations are continuing to push the industry toward higher-performing, lower-emission buildings—and Local Law 97 is part of that shift.

For architects and developers, this means building performance can no longer be treated as a late-stage consideration. Decisions around the building envelope, glazing, and airtightness increasingly impact long-term energy efficiency, operational costs, and compliance readiness.

As standards evolve, project teams are under greater pressure to:
• Reduce operational energy demand
• Improve envelope performance
• Future-proof building assets
• Deliver measurable performance outcomes

At INTUS, we support architects and developers with high-performance window systems engineered for modern building envelopes—helping teams integrate performance into the design process with greater precision and confidence.

Did you know the built environment accounts for roughly 40% of global CO₂ emissions?

For architects and sustainability consultants, improving building performance starts with the envelope—and windows play a much bigger role than many teams realize.

In our latest article, we explore how high-performance window systems support lower operational energy use, better airtightness, and more efficient building design.

🚫 Most NYC compliance issues don’t start at inspection.

They start much earlier — during specification, documentation, and coordination.

Here are 3 of the most common mistakes that delay projects:

1️⃣ Wrong window performance specs
Incorrect U-values, air leakage issues, and non-compliant glazing selections can quickly create approval problems.

2️⃣ Missing documentation
No testing reports. Missing certifications. Incomplete shop drawings.
If the paperwork isn’t complete, the system isn’t compliant.

3️⃣ Poor envelope coordination
Window-to-wall transitions, thermal bridging risks, and disconnected teams often create costly performance gaps.

The good news? Most of these problems are preventable with earlier coordination and the right performance strategy.
