A curtain wall mock-up can range from 100 ft2 to over 2,000 ft2. The size of the building, various building conditions, can all be factors used in determining the size of the curtain wall mock-up. The architects, consultants, building owners, and manufacturers determine what building conditions need to be tested in the case of specific projects. Minimum size requirements are specified in the test specimen section of ASTM E 283, E 330, E 331, and E 547. For multi-story buildings, most conditions can be included in mock-ups that are two stories high and three units wide per AAMA 501-94.
