Building perimeter protection system of steel, modular and multi-story in nature, that surrounds the perimeter of a high-rise building during construction consisting of steel panels, scaffolding, shoring, girders, supports, beams, joists, which provides protection for construction workers and prevents debris from falling below during construction

Building perimeter protection system comprising a multi-story cocoon system that surrounds the perimeter of a high-rise building during construction; the system provides wind and weather protection for construction workers while at the same time also protecting workers and pedestrians below from falling debris; provides protection from the natural elements: wind, rain, and snow; it is a self-climbing system that eliminates the need for a crane to move perimeter panels vertically from floor-to-floor; it reduces heat loss during winter months; portions can be transparent to transmit sunlight for worker efficiency; it is modular and adaptable to complex geometries; it covers multiple current construction floors; allows for an all steel design reducing fire hazard and the elimination of dimensional lumber required on other systems; the all steel design also provides a more rigid system for the life of the project; while the system allows for the use of a plywood sheeting, it also allows for an innovative use of a combination of synthetic mesh, corrugated light gauge steel, and clear polycarbonate panels to allow for the right amount of air, light, and protection at the appropriate floor levels
