Abstract
The improvement of the building envelope’s performance plays an important role in the achievement of the energy saving target of the European Union [1] and the long-term goals set in the European Roadmap 2050 [2]. Thus, in recent years big attention is given to the improvement of the building envelope’s performance through the development of new and innovative solution, beside the enhancement of traditional ones. In addition to that architectural trends influence the shapes and aspects of facades. All these developments led to a huge variety of façade systems, including several materials, components, construction principles, design typologies and installation solutions. In order to keep on developing innovative façade design solution, the broad knowledge about the existing ones is essential.
