How do I model a Curtain Wall Spandrel?

A curtain wall spandrel is the non-structural, opaque panel located between the vision glass and the slab edge in a curtain wall system. It conceals structural elements and provides thermal insulation and aesthetic continuity.

A curtain wall spandrel can be modeled as a Concept Wall, by simily nominating its thermal properties to represent its geometry within the building envelope. The Total R-value is typically around 0.55 for an aluminium spandrel
