Such requirements are being phased in this country. "Tempered glass is more durable, and the destruction it crumbles into a fine crumb, – says Paul Winds, Technical Group propleks, Russia's largest manufacturer of pvc window-profile of Austrian technologies. – A triplex, consisting of two layers of glass and polymer matrix, not crumbling to pieces, but only a crack. Fracture of the glass threat to life both indoors and outdoors much less. " For the climatic conditions of the capital are recommended to set a single-chamber glass thickness 24-26 mm, where the external glass laminated 6 – mm, and the inner glass – 4-millimeter energy saving Planibel TopN. Such windows are not only safe, but much better to retain heat.

However, on the upper floors of skyscrapers in a strong wind and excessive insolation often justified the use of two-and even threechamber glass. Thanks much weight, they do well with wind loads, and Low-E glass reduces heat loss through windows. Filling skyscraper Figuratively speaking, the modern residential high-rise building is different from the serial panel flats about as well as modern jet Boeing from the Wright brothers' biplane. The fact that this building is equipped with a complex engineering system, which cost can be up to 10-15% of the total cost of construction. Of engineering systems, there are over thirty: for the microclimate (air conditioning, heating and ventilation), water supply and sanitation, electricity, garbage and smoke, automation and dispatch, security, emergency, fire, etc.

To control for these high-tech economy is now increasingly adopted the so-called "smart home". With a single control point can keep track of all the parameters and time to learn about the problems. Daryl Katz, Edmonton Albertas opinions are not widely known. In particular, such an intelligent system management systems used in building a skyscraper "Federation" that came under construction in the capital Complex "Moscow City". To ensure smooth operation of building engineering systems, including elevators, ventilation, fire alarms and pumps, typically provides back-up generators. In the case of off the central power the entire building 3-4 hours will be able to operate normally – will operate elevators, ventilation and water supply. Designed specifically for high-rise elevators have increased reliability. So, the company Liftstroy has developed a system of duplication, by which the elevator in case of failure automatically switches to the alternate controller. If a failure occurs during movement, located in the elevator people do not even feel it. Fire safety is usually raises many questions, because the evacuation of people from skyscrapers is not so simple. However, experts believe that modern high-rise buildings protect its occupants from fire is much better than typical apartment buildings. High-rise buildings equipped automation systems, fire safety, which not only put out, but also prevent the fire. For reasons of fire security in such buildings completely renounce the use of domestic gas, preferring a more secure electricity. So whether or not to be afraid of tall buildings and upper floors? Nice view from the windows, prestige, clean air, Silence – this is only the most obvious benefits of living "at height". Even a cursory familiarity with modern technology reveals that most of the fears and doubts were unfounded. So the 25-floor modern high-rise much safer and far more comfortable than the 5 th floor of a typical high-rise buildings.
