A solid cement construction panel includes an interior core filling sandwiched between two exterior faces to form a composite panel. The interior core filling is constructed to have a high strength cement, EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam, fly ash, sand particles and water, wherein the interior core filling has properties of heat preservation and soundproof. Each of the exterior faces is made of fiber reinforced material having properties of light weight, heat insulation, fireproof, and waterproof and moisture-proof.

A dwelling assembly that has a continuous sidewall and an opening for a door and a window. A roof assembly is provided with first and second roofs that are spaced apart such that the outer roof acts as a heat shield for the inner roof to ensure the interior of the dwelling is a minimum temperature. In addition, ballast boxes are utilized in order to provide additional weight to the dwelling and a planting area in association with the dwelling assembly.

The present invention provides a bidirectional energy-transfer system comprising: a thermally and/or electrically conductive concrete, disposed in a structural object; a location of energy supply or demand that is physically isolated from, but in thermodynamic and/or electromagnetic communication with, the thermally and/or electrically conductive concrete; and a means of transferring energy between the structural object and the location of energy supply or demand. The system can be a single node in a neural network. The thermally and/or electrically conductive concrete includes a conductive, shock-absorbing material, such as graphite. Preferred compositions are disclosed for the thermally and/or electrically conductive concrete. The bidirectional energy-transfer system may be present in a solar-energy collection system, a grade beam, an indoor radiant flooring system, a structural wall or ceiling, a bridge, a roadway, a driveway, a parking lot, a commercial aviation runway, a military runway, a grain silo, or pavers, for example.

Systems and methods for forming insulated sandwich walls are provided. Outer and inner support members are located between inner and outer strongbacks. Structural material for an outer wall, such as concrete, is deposited between the outer strongback and outer support member. Structural material for an inner wall is deposited between the inner strongback and inner support member. An insulating material is deposited between the outer and inner support members to form an insulating core.

A method of constructing a hollow wall structure comprising: a step (A) of constructing a grout wall mold; a step (B) of grouted a curable liquid material into the grouting space; a step (C) of removing the first template wall and the second template wall so as to produce a semi-finished hollow wall having the Styrofoam board; and a step (D) of removing a semi-finished hollow wall having the Styrofoam board so as to obtain a hollow wall having a communication space. The communication space has an inflow conduit and a connection channel.

Improved tilt-up and precast construction panels and improved methods for creating the same address deficiencies in the current tilt-up and precast construction panels. Improved tilt-up and precast construction panels use less concrete and less steel reinforcement and weigh less than current tilt-up and precast construction panels. Additionally, improved tilt-up and precast construction panels have greater insulative properties (both heat and sound) than do current tilt-up and precast construction panels. Improved tilt-up and precast construction panels require less labor on the construction site, thereby increasing efficiency and profitability of construction crews. Additional advantages of implementations of the invention will become apparent through the following description and by practice of implementations of the invention.
