A construction panel comprising a rigid insulation layer having an interior surface and an exterior surface, an outer concrete wythe secured to the exterior surface of the insulation layer, an inner concrete wythe secured to the interior surface of the insulation layer, a grid system which ties the outer concrete wythe to the inner concrete wythe and a capillary tube system located within the construction panel wherein liquid is passed through the tubing in order to increase or decrease the temperature of the construction panel.

Gypsum panels, methods for their manufacture, and systems and methods for monitoring environmental conditions with such panels are provided herein. The panels include a gypsum core having a first surface and an opposed second surface, a first facer material associated with the first surface of the gypsum core, and an environmental sensor assembly associated with the gypsum panel and configured to detect an environmental condition of the gypsum panel and wirelessly communicate data on the environmental condition to a reader.

Aspects of this disclosure relate to a method of manufacturing wallboard which includes providing a first layer of facing material, creasing the first layer facing material intermittently to create a series of creased portions, providing a gypsum slurry on the first layer of facing material and providing a second layer of facing material over the gypsum slurry. Further, creasing the first layer of facing material intermittently can include intermittently creasing the first layer of facing material in a substantially linear fashion extending in a first direction of the first layer of facing material so that the first layer of facing material exhibits a linear series of creased portions extending in the first direction of the first layer of facing material and a series of portions that are not creased extending in the first direction of the first layer of facing material.

The invention relates to a reinforcing element (1) comprising a first (2) and a second reinforcing mat (3) having metal mat rods (6), which are welded at angles to each other at junction points (7), which reinforcing mats (2, 3) are held spaced apart from each other at a normal distance (9) by rod-shaped spacers (8) with respect to the first mat plane (4) and the second mat plane (5) of the reinforcing mats. The spacers are metal (8) and are permanently connected to individual mat rods (6) of the first (2) and second reinforcing mat (3) by welding connections (10), preferably resistance welding connections, wherein at least individual spacers (8) protrude outward at least beyond the first mat plane (4) of the first reinforcing mat (2) in a direction (11) pointing away from the second reinforcing mat (3) by a first protrusion length. The invention further relates to a double wall furnished with the reinforcing element and a method for producing the reinforcing element and the double wall.

A manufactured building system is described. The building system can include modular components such as floor panels, roof panels, window walls, demising walls, utility walls, end walls, and/or corbel beams.

One aspect of the disclosure is a plaster board having a first edge and an opposed second edge, and a third edge and an opposed fourth edge. The plaster board includes a first layer of hardened plaster material including a first surface and an opposed second surface, and a second layer of hardened plaster material including a first surface and an opposed second surface. The second layer of hardened plaster material is stacked against the first layer such that their first surfaces face one another. The first layer and the second layer together define the first, second, third, and fourth edges of the plaster board. The plaster board also includes a viscoelastic polymer disposed between the first surfaces of the first and second layers of hardened plaster material. The viscoelastic polymer does not extend substantially to the first, second, third, and fourth edges of the plaster board.

A precast concrete wall panel and system comprising pre-stressed concrete layers surrounding an insulation layer, the concrete layers prestressed using fiber reinforce polymer bar rebar.

A method of making a concrete panel board is provided. The method includes the steps of: (a) providing a substrate; (b) applying a primer layer to the substrate; (c) drying the board after step b; (d) applying a thinset mortar layer to the primer layer; (e) drying the board after step d; (f) applying a plaster layer to the thinset mortar layer; (g) drying the board after step f; and (h) applying a sealant layer to the plaster layer.

The invention relates to a panel and a method for producing a panel. The panel is in particular a floor, wall or ceiling panel, and comprises at least one core layer, the core layer comprising an upper core surface and a lower core surface and at least one pair of opposite side edges; wherein the core layer comprises magnesium oxide cement and fibres dispersed in said magnesium oxide cement.
