There are several ways a facade can be used to improve a building's safety:
1. Fire resistance: A facade can be designed to have fire-resistant materials such as concrete, brick, or metal to prevent the spread of fire to other areas of the building.
2. Impact resistance: A facade can be constructed with materials that are resistant to impact from external forces such as vehicular accidents, severe weather conditions, and other forms of accidental impacts.
3. Structural stability: The facade can be designed to provide structural support to the building, which can prevent collapse due to earthquakes, high winds, or other natural disasters.
4. Ventilation: A facade can be designed to provide adequate ventilation, which can help prevent the buildup of toxic gases or other harmful substances within the building.
5. Security: A facade can be equipped with security measures such as bullet-resistant glass, surveillance cameras, and other technologies to enhance the safety and security of occupants.
