Message: [QUOTE="NJCuse97, post: 2988618, member: 5058"] Fair warning -nerd alert- Building in Boston is the Hancock Tower. Wind issue yes, but slightly different. The building is a trapezoid shape and they didn’t understand what effect the shape would have when the wind hit straight into the “narrow” side. The building acted like a plane wing and created lift on the back side, which caused the twisting, but the windows were a result of incorrect design of the IGU. The air in between the glass when heated by the sun caused the glass to pop from its frame. Windows were replaced with single pane glass. Our roof will be a bit like the Bunker Hill Bridge, or the Alamo Dome [/QUOTE]
