Disclosed is a vertical or a sloped glazing system that facilitates wire routing from electrically producing or consumptive glazing materials such as solar PV panels or electrochromic glass. The glazing system includes vertical and horizontal framing members, each with enclosed cavities and outward facing gutters. The vertical framing member gutter is deeper than the horizontal framing member gutter, creating an offset between the enclosed cavities such that a portion of the vertical wall of the vertical framing member gutter aligns with the enclosed cavity of the horizontal framing member. Electrical wire can be routed from the vertical framing member gutter into the horizontal framing member enclosed cavity through a wire-receiving aperture in the vertical frame member gutter wall portion that is aligned with the horizontal framing member enclosed cavity. This arrangement allows wiring between the outside and inside building environment while minimizing the possibility of water infiltration.

1. A glazing system, for mounting a glazing panel, comprising: a first framing member including a first framing member enclosed cavity, and a first framing member gutter projecting outwardly from the first framing member enclosed cavity;a second framing member including a second framing member enclosed cavity, and a second framing member gutter projecting outwardly from the second framing member enclosed cavity;the first framing member gutter and the second framing member gutter each seat the glazing panel utilizing an offset glazed system; andthe first framing member is secured and aligned with the second framing member so that the first framing member gutter and the first framing member enclosed cavity intersect a portion of the second framing member enclosed cavity but the first framing member enclosed cavity does not intersect the second framing member gutter. 2. The glazing system of claim 1, further comprising: a wire-receiving aperture positioned in, and passing between, a region where the first framing member gutter intersects the portion of the second framing member enclosed cavity. 3. The glazing system of claim 2, wherein: the second framing member enclosed cavity includes a back surface; andthe back surface is removable. 4. The glazing system of claim 2, further comprising: a second wire-receiving aperture positioned in, and passing between, a second region where the first framing member enclosed cavity and the portion of the second framing member enclosed cavity intersect. 5. The glazing system of claim 4 wherein: the first framing member enclosed cavity includes a first back surface;the second framing member enclosed cavity includes a second back surface; andthe first back surface and the second back surface are removable. 6. The glazing system of claim 1, further comprising: a first pressure bar assembly, that in combination with the first framing member gutter, seat opposing surfaces of the glazing panel in a first direction along a first framing member length; anda second pressure bar assembly, that in combination with the second framing member gutter, seat opposing surfaces of the glazing panel in a second direction along a second framing member length. 7. The glazing system of claim 1, wherein: the glazing system is a stick-built curtain wall;the second framing member is a horizontal mullion; andthe first framing member is a vertical mullion. 8. The glazing system of claim 1, wherein: the glazing system is a sloped glazing system;the second framing member is a purlin; andthe first framing member is rafter. 9. The glazing system of claim 1, wherein: the glazing system forms a unitized curtain wall section;the second framing member is a horizontal mullion; andthe first framing member is a vertical mullion. 10. The glazing system of claim 9, wherein: the glazing system forms a section of a modular sloped glazing system;the second framing member is a purlin; andthe first framing member is a rafter. 11. A glazing system, for mounting a glazing panel between an interior space and exterior environment, comprising: a first framing member including a first framing member enclosed cavity positioned within the interior space, and a first framing member gutter projecting outwardly from the first framing member enclosed cavity and configured to seat an interior surface of the glazing panel;a second framing member including a second framing member enclosed cavity positioned fully within the interior space, and a second framing member gutter projecting outwardly from the second framing member enclosed cavity and confirmed to seat the interior surface of the glazing panel;the first framing member gutter and the second framing member gutter each seat the glazing panel utilizing an offset glazed system; andthe first framing member is secured and aligned with the second framing member so that the first framing member gutter and the second frame member enclosed cavity intersect a portion of the second framing member enclosed cavity but the first framing member enclosed cavity does not intersect the second frame member gutter. 12. The glazing system of claim 11, further comprising: a wire-receiving aperture positioned in, and passing between, a region where the first framing member gutter intersects the portion of the second framing member enclosed cavity. 13. The glazing system of claim 12, wherein: the second framing member enclosed cavity includes a back surface; andthe back surface is removable. 14. The glazing system of claim 12, further comprising: a second wire-receiving aperture positioned in, and passing between, a second region where the first framing member enclosed cavity and the portion of the second framing member enclosed cavity intersect. 15. The glazing system of claim 14, wherein: the first framing member enclosed cavity includes a first back surface;the second framing member enclosed cavity includes a second back surface; andthe first back surface and the second back surface are removable. 16. The glazing system of claim 11, further comprising: a first pressure bar assembly, that in combination with the first framing member gutter, seat opposing surfaces of the glazing panel in a first direction along a first length of the first framing member; anda second pressure bar assembly, that in combination with the second framing member gutter, seat opposing surfaces of the glazing panel in a second direction along a second length of the second framing member.
