An energy-saving building system using a porous silicate material for thermal insulation, comprises a foundation, a retaining wall body, and a roof system. The foundation comprises a ground ring beam and columns, and a porous silicate thermal insulation material is cast around the ground ring beam and the columns; the porous silicate thermal insulation material is composed of an organic lightweight aggregate and a lightweight inorganic matrix, and the lightweight inorganic matrix is provided thereon with a plurality of micropores; the retaining wall body comprises an outer wall disposed on the ground ring beam, the outer wall comprises an outer side support body, an inner side support body, and the porous silicate thermal insulation material cast between the inner and outer side support bodies, and the outer side support body and the inner side support body are connected therebetween by means of a heat insulating connection member.

A mechanical equipment screen system that's used to hang a wall, façade, signs or other items. Made up of multiple triangular, metal frames that are easily adjusted to roof pitch and other circumstances onsite by twisting a custom rod mechanism to retract or telescope out the upright element of the frames. These frames consist of a base, angle, and upright element that are bolted together. This assembly is anchored to a structure via a prefabricated plate attached to the legs which can be oriented in a variety of ways to accommodate various installation applications. Round posts on the base can penetrate a roof membrane and allows a very simple and standard roofing detail that complies with the roof's warranty. Other embodiments are described and shown.

The invention relates to a method for constructing a roof, the roof being intended for a building having a perimeter enclosure, the method having the production of a formwork configured to support the roof during its construction and to allow the casting of a slab, the construction of a supporting structure configured to ensure that the roof is mechanically resistant and that the roof is attached to the building receiving the roof, the casting of the slab performing a bonding material function, the slab being configured to transfer mechanical stresses within the supporting structure, and the construction of an external girdling, referred to as a cornice, connecting the roof to the building by girdling both a portion of an outer surface of the perimeter enclosure of the building and a portion of the girdling structure attached to the building, in order to increase the mechanical resistance of the roof to being torn off.

Modular building methods and systems using lightweight modular panels, and specially configured transition panels for transitioning from wall to floor, or from wall to roof. Identically configured standard panels are used for constructing the walls, floor, and roof, with transitions from one structure to the next (e.g., wall to floor, or wall to roof). Each of the variously configured panel types includes channels (e.g., 2 pair of channels) formed through the length of the foam body, where the channels are configured to receive splines (e.g., flanges of an I-beam) therein. In the standard panel, the channels may include pairs of top and bottom channels, with the channels offset towards the respective panel major faces. In the transition panels, the channels may be similarly configured, but positioned differently to make the appropriate transition. The splines are connected to a frame, which acts as a template and transfers loads to a foundation.

Described is a method and apparatus for constructing light-weight, modular structures using special openC beams as a top and a bottom frame. Each openC beam comprises a vertical web member, a horizontal top flange extending perpendicularly in a first direction from the vertical web member, a horizontal bottom flange extending perpendicularly in the first direction and substantially parallel with the horizontal top flange and a upper vertical tab extending substantially perpendicularly from a distal edge of the horizontal top flange away from the horizontal bottom flange. Vertical posts are installed in one or more cutouts in the horizontal top flange of each openC beam and a planar surface of each of the vertical posts rests against the horizontal top flange for added support.

A supporting structure (102) for a wall or a roof partition (104; 120) of a building structure (100), comprises an internal core structure (114) extending in a longitudinal direction, and first and second external covering profiles (106) for at least partially covering the core structure (114). The covering profiles (106) define inwardly and outwardly facing surfaces (108) facing one another, with slits (116) being formed at the inwardly facing surfaces (108). The core structure comprises at least two bands of material (114) which are mutually offset. The supporting structure (102) is suitable as a post, pillar, column, lath, batten, rafter, truss, girder, bar, or beam for a wall or roof partitions of a greenhouse, a cabin or shanty, a wall of a house, a stand-alone wall or roof partition, such as pent roof, a canopy, a fence, a windbreak or a solar panel structure The bands of material (114) are interconnected at their ends only and are pre-tensioned to provide stiffness, and may be configured to minimize their thermal conductivity.
