6. Conclusion
The calculation method described here remains fairly straightforward
to use, as it largely follows that of previous versions of the NF
DTU 39 P4 standard. In its current version, it has the advantage of
being based on European codes defining wind and snow loads and of
harmonizing the definition of these loads with those used in facade
and joinery work.
European standardization efforts on this subject have not yet
resulted in a generalized method for calculating glazing thicknesses
in buildings. Once these efforts are finalized, an amendment to the
NF DTU 39 P4 standard will be necessary.
