Abstract
A box assembly includes a box, a door, an opener, and an insulation material. The box is configured to be installed on a curtain wall. The door encloses an interior space of the box. The opener is configured to open the door. The insulation material is in a compressed state in the interior space when the door is closed. The insulation material is configured to transition to an uncompressed state when the opener opens the door. When the door is opened, the insulation material at least partially extends from the interior space into a sating slot adjacent the curtain wall when the box is in an installed state and the door is opened.

- a floor spatially disposed from the interior wall surface of the curtain wall construction, thereby defining a safing slot between the curtain wall construction and an outer edge of the floor;
- a steel cavity fastened via one or more screws to a lower side of the horizontal framing member, the steel cavity in at least partial horizontal alignment with the safing slot and having a concave portion facing the safing slot;
- a first thermally resistant material disposed at least partially in the concave portion of the steel cavity;
- and
- a second thermally resistant material disposed at least partially in the safing slot, and abutting the first thermally resistant material.
