Systems and methods are described herein for a composite building panel for use in a panelized structure. In some aspects, a composite building panel may include: a core defining a channel formed via subtractive manufacturing; a utility conduit placed or formed in and bonded to the channel and enclosed by the core, where the utility conduit exits the core along a first mating edge of the core; and first and second skin elements bonded to the core to form a layered structure. In some cases, the layered structure may also include a reinforced block coupled to at least the first fiber-reinforced skin element and defining part of the first mating edge, where the reinforced block defines a first portion of the first mating edge for mating with another composite building panel of the panelized structure.

Modular enclosures, structures, and components thereof are provided herein. A modular enclosure may include a plurality of enclosure panels and a dormer. A modular assembly may include first and second panels, an elongated structural reinforcing member, and a connector pin connecting the first and second panels. Another modular assembly may include a molded panel including an elongated channel, an elongated reinforcing member positioned in the channel, and at least one fastener configured to retain the elongated reinforcing member within the channel. The elongated reinforcing member may include pins to be retained within blind bores of the elongated channel.

A composite building system comprising a structural frame, walls, floor, and roof is made of pultrusion fiber reinforced polymer (PFRP) material. A combination of PFRP, stainless steel screws and flexible epoxy can be used in the manufacture of a mobile or fixed structure. During assembly, an intumescent fire barrier can be applied to the PFRP components. Unlike traditional building materials, an exterior waterproof finish coating is not required when using a PFRP wall, floor, and roof assembly. The PFRP wall and wall assembly can be used with both PFRP structural framing and traditional framing materials, such as concrete, steel, or wood, allowing the PFRP wall and wall assembly to be used as a mid-rise or high-rise curtain wall.

A roof system and related methods for installing the roof system. The roof system includes a roof diaphragm including a nail board and an insulating panel connected to the nail board, wherein the insulating panel is adapted to be positioned between the nail board and a roof frame so that the insulating panel engages the roof frame. In several exemplary embodiments, the nail board comprises one or both of: oriented strand board (OSB) and plywood. In several exemplary embodiments, the insulating panel comprises one or both of: a closed-cell rigid polyisocyanurate (polyiso) foam core and a polystyrene foam core. In several exemplary embodiments, the roof system further includes a plurality of nail board fasteners connecting the roof diaphragm to the roof frame, the nail board fasteners each extending through the nail board, through the insulating panel, and into the roof frame to a depth.

The present disclosure concerns a flexible thermal insulation assembly to thermally insulate matter from an external environment, the flexible thermal insulation assembly comprising a plurality of thermal insulation covering sections comprising an outer layer and an insulated matter-facing layer, the plurality of thermal insulation covering sections being configurable in an adjacent configuration wherein the plurality of thermal insulation covering sections are articulately connected to one another to substantially conform to an outer surface of the insulated matter; and an insulated matter-mounting assembly securing the plurality of thermal insulation covering sections onto the insulated matter with the insulated matter-facing layers of the plurality of thermal insulation covering sections at least partially covering the insulated matter and substantially conforming thereto. The present disclosure also concerns a method for thermally insulating matter, such as a snow heap, from an external environment.

The present disclosure provides insulated panels comprising a core layer including an insulating material, an interior-side sheathing layer, and an exterior-side sheathing layer. The insulated panels of the present disclosure can be used to conveniently retrofit existing structures to dramatically improve thermal insulation performance without substantially increasing a risk of moisture retention or mold formation within the structure's walls.

The disclosure relates to a method of preparing an installation, to a method of installation of a false ceiling or wall, to a tile for use in such a false ceiling or wall and to a false ceiling or false wall.

The method of preparing an installation comprises: calculating (202) format, position and orientation for each individual tile in the suspended ceiling or wall, associating (202; 206) each individual tile with a unique tile identity, producing (300) the individual tiles according to the calculated format, providing (301) respective tile with the tile identity of respective tile, providing (302) a representation of the suspended ceiling or wall including an association of the position of respective tile with respective tile identity.

A thermal break wood and rigid insulation stud is comprised of two non-dimensional lumber sections with a thermal break section of rigid foam insulation therebetween. A non-metallic truss arrangement of mechanical fasteners holds the lumber and insulation sections secured together greatly improving the strength of the thermal break wood and rigid insulation stud. The studs in a wall are 24″ on center. The studs are used for headers and sills and also may be used for top and bottom plates. The corners have an exterior all wood stud, an interior all wood stud and an interior all wood stud adjacent to the interior wood stud completing the interior corner for nailing gypsum board thereto. This corner has a thermal break space between the exterior and interior wood studs for insulation placement. The corners may also have two 3×6 thermal studs oriented 90 degrees from each other and an interior all wood stud for completing the interior corner for nailing gypsum board thereto. This corner arrangement also has a thermal break through its construction.
