A bracing device for securing at least one facing panel in front of a structure, includes a mounting plate equipped with a bearing face which is planar overall, against which the facing panel can bear, the bearing face having at least one transverse dimension greater than or equal to 30 mm, and a body extending in an axial direction and equipped, at a front end, with a mechanism for securing it to the mounting plate and, at a rear end opposite to the front end, with a mechanism for securing it to the structure.

An approved dynamic construction is used for effectively thermally insulating and sealing of a safing slot between a floor of a building and an exterior wall construction, wherein the exterior wall construction includes a curtain wall configuration defined by an interior wall glass surface including one or more aluminum framing members, wherein the vision glass extends to the finished floor level below. The dynamic, thermally insulating and sealing system includes a first element for receiving the insulating elements and positioned in the zero spandrel area of a glass curtain wall construction including only vision glass to maintain thermally insulating and sealing of the safing slot during exposure to fire and heat as well as movement in order to maintain a complete seal extending across the safing slot.

A phase-change energy-storage structure for building insulation. The wall structure is provided with a wall base, an insulation layer, an oriented structural board, a shaped phase-change energy-storage insulation board, and an exterior decorative board in sequence from outdoor to indoor. The shaped phase-change energy-storage insulation board is composed of an inorganic composite phase-change material and a packaging sheet. The inorganic composite phase-change material has a phase-change temperature of 10 to 40° C., obtained by compounding an inorganic hydrated salt and a porous structural carrier. In the inorganic composite phase-change material, a mass percentage of the inorganic hydrated salt is 40 to 95%, and the inorganic composite phase-change material is coated with a fire resistant and corrosion resistant light-cured resin. The coldness in outdoor air in summer night can be stored in the phase-change energy-storage insulation board, which can be released into the indoor air during the day.

In an embodiment, a multifunctional material system is provided and can include a variable-permeability layer, a desiccant containing layer, and a vapor-permeable supporting layer. The variable-permeability layer can have a vapor permeability that increases with increasing relative humidity. The desiccant containing layer can be adjacent the variable-permeability layer. The vapor-permeable supporting layer can be positioned adjacent at least one of the variable-permeability layer and the desiccant containing layer. Water moves in a first direction from the variable-permeability layer to the desiccant layer when relative humidity is greater adjacent the variable-permeability layer than the desiccant layer. Water moves a second, opposing direction, from the desiccant containing layer to the variable-permeability layer when the relative humidity is greater adjacent the desiccant containing layer than the variable-permeability layer. The rate of water motion in the first direction is greater than the second direction when the humidity gradient is reversed.

An approved dynamic construction is used for effectively thermally insulating and sealing of a sating slat between a floor of a building and an exterior wall construction. The exterior wall construction includes a curtain wall configuration defined by an interior wall glass surface, including one or more aluminum framing members. In particular, a process is useful for assembling a fireproof system within a stick build exterior dynamic curtain wall facade, which includes glass, especially vision glass extending to the finished floor level below.

A building structure and a kit comprising: a hollow shell; a plurality of exterior panel assemblies attached to an exterior surface of the shell, each panel assembly including: a mounting member extending outwardly from the shell, the mounting member having a first end secured to the shell and a second end located away from the shell; an exterior wall panel secured to the second end of the mounting member so as to be spaced from the shell. According to another aspect, there is also provided a building structure and a kit comprising: a hollow shell defining an interior enclosure sized and shaped to house at least one individual; a plurality of modular wall sections secured to the hollow shell inside the interior enclosure.

A composite wall assembly has an auxiliary wall and an inner wall. The auxiliary wall has a hollow space and a first supporting pillar having multiple first through holes. The inner wall is attached to the auxiliary wall and forms a depositing space. The inner wall has a first wall member, a second wall member, and a second supporting pillar having multiple second through holes. The depositing space is formed between the first wall member and the second wall member. The auxiliary wall provides a cushion effect and is not damaged easily in the earthquake for protecting the pipelines in the hollow space. The interior ambient temperature of the building is lowered by the hollow space of the auxiliary wall.

A system includes at least one interior wall having a first interior facing side and a second side opposite the interior facing side, at least one exterior wall having a first interior facing side and a second exterior facing side, at least one first attachment device for each interior wall, and at least one second attachment device for each exterior wall, each first attachment device connecting to a respective second attachment device to temporarily attach a respective interior wall to a respective exterior wall and create a cavity between the second side of the interior wall and the first interior facing side of the exterior wall.
