A wall construction formed of solid wood members. The wall construction provides for a heating and cooling system that synergistically works with the inherent insulative properties of solid wood members. The wall construction comprises channels formed in the solid wood members to accommodate conduits for heating and cooling. The conduits are routed through multiple solid wood members of a wall and are positioned to efficiently heat and cool the interior of a building. Other grooves may be formed in the top side of the solid wood members to accommodate conduits for heating, cooling electrical service and communications carriers.

An adjustable support system has a base bracket member, a clip member, and an outer bracket. The base bracket member has a first end wall that overlays a substrate, a body wall extending outwardly therefrom and a second end wall opposite the first end wall. The clip member has a base bracket member coupling, and a projecting arm. The base bracket member coupling is attached to the first end wall and overlies a portion of the body wall. The projecting arm is spaceable apart from the body wall. The outer bracket has a spanning wall with inner and outer sides. An outer end wall extends from the outer side. The spanning wall is slidably positionable between the body wall of the base bracket member and the at least one clip member, to sandwich the same. Wall assemblies and methods are likewise disclosed.

A wall structure having a horizontal base stud, which wall structure has an upper wall panel, and a horizontal base stud, wherein the base stud has openings to allow for liquids to escape in the event of a plumbing leak, and additional openings to allow for air flow from the exterior to the interior of the wall structure.

A fireproof covered structure for covering a penetration part formed in a fireproof beam of a wooden building to make the penetration part fireproof, wherein a tubular fireproof covering material is attached to the penetration part while covering an inner peripheral surface of the penetration part. The tubular fireproof covering material is formed by stacking a plurality of gypsum board pieces cut out from commercially available gypsum boards of thicknesses of 9.5 mm to 25.5 mm, in the thickness direction and unitarily connecting the gypsum board pieces. The tubular fireproof covering material is inserted into and attached to the penetration part such that a connecting portion That connects gypsum board pieces That are adjacent in the stacking direction is disposed at a boundary portion between a structural member and a covering member of the fireproof beam, or at a portion close to the boundary portion.

Wall system for composing a fiat wall (1), in particular a wall, floor, ceiling, roof or the like, characterised in that the wail system is composed of wooden beams (2) which extend parallel to each other lengthways and the side edges (3) of which are mounted opposite each other breadthways by means of anchoring elements (8) which are mounted in or on the beams (2) and which in mounted condition of the wall (1) are kept apart at a fixed defined distance (L) by means of spacers (12) which extend through passages (7) in the beams (2), said passages (7) extending and connecting breadthways (B) of the beams (2) and in each other's extension, whereby the anchoring elements (8) are anchored relative to the passages (7) in an axial and radial direction as well as against rotating around the axial passage direction (X-X′) of the passages (7).
