The Code of Practice - Use of glass in buildings, provides guidelines on the design, construction, testing, quality assurance and installation of glass structures or elements in buildings.

1.1       Design considerations

a)         Aim of glass design

In the Code, the limit state design principle is adopted for structures using glass with the aim to achieve the following:

i)          Overall stability and buckling resistance against the design loads;

ii)         Strength against collapse under the design loads and the imposed deformations of supporting structures;

iii)        Integrity and robustness against progressive collapse under the design loads;

iv)        Serviceability under the design loads and the imposed deformations of supporting structures;

v)         Water and air tightness;

vi)        Durability;

vii)       Quality; and

viii)      Maintainability during its design working life.

b)         Design references

The Code has made references to various international standards in Annex A. Where an alternative method or a performance-based approach is adopted, adequate information, including proposals on compliance testing, must be provided to demonstrate that the aim of glass design specified in clause 1.1 a) can be achieved.

This document specifies requirements for lighting solutions for most indoor

work places and their associated areas in terms of quantity and quality of

illumination. In addition, recommendations are given for good lighting

practice including visual and non-visual (non-image forming) lighting needs.

This document does not specify lighting requirements with respect to the

safety and health of people at work and has not been prepared in the field

of application of Article 169 of Treaty on the Functioning of the European

Union although the lighting requirements, as specified in this document,

usually fulfil safety needs.

This document neither provides specific solutions, nor restricts the

designers’ freedom from exploring new techniques nor restricts the use of innovative equipment. The illumination can be provided by daylight,

electric lighting or a combination of both.
