The facade is a crucial design element of unique architecture. Generally, façade systems have also to fulfil different constructional functions. At the same time, they are also exposed to various hazards depending on the location of the building, e. g. fire including arson, flood, hail, heavy rain, and storm. In addition, building materials with flame retardants for fire protection may have to be disposed of as hazardous waste in the course of demolition if they contain environmentally harmful substances. Therefore, all relevant hazards and functions must be considered during the life cycle of construction.
