English term or phrase: curtain wall
The type of wall is also called in the text a protective wall.
Is it just beskyttende vegg or sth like this?

It is not the underground type that I found in some other question here. It is a wall outside another wall that is made of aluminium and glass.

curtain wall
Explanation:
This English term is used like it is in Norwegian construction terminology. Some people call it a "påhengsvegg", but I would recommend keeping the English term.

beskyttelsesvegg


Explanation:
Hvis hovedpoenget med veggen er beskyttelse, ville jeg sagt beskyttelsesvegg. Hvis den er mest til pynt, fasadevegg.

neutral  Joachim Stene: Tror ikke det er snakk om en forblendingsmur, Morten. Synes uansett at "vegg" bør med i oversettelsen.
