NCARB Demo Exam - Window Wall vs Storefront
Hi all,
I came across a question from the demo exam asking about the cheapest alternative to a curtainwall system.
To my understanding, the storefront system and window wall system are essentially the same except that window wall describes windows that span floor to floor and storefront describes the same but on the ground floor application. In this case, window wall will be the best alternative to curtainwall system. However, the NCARB says the answer is storefront.
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

This question seems kind of tricky. A window wall couldn't be 3 stories tall clear though.
And keep in mind that any CUSTOM colors and finishes are typically extremely more expensive than typical colors & finishes. So the answer does make sense.
Hope this helps!
