Insulation panels for wall construction and roofing installation are characterized by inlaid battens in outer faces thereof by which multiple layers of insulation can be installed without thermal bridging. Second and any subsequent layers are each fastened only to the battens of the immediately underlying layer, without fully penetrating therethrough to the roof deck, building wrap or other substrate. Laminated facers of perforated character allow migration of moisture to and from a foam core of the panel, while internal channels and internal slots beneath the facer enable drainage/drying of excess moisture without material degradation of the inlaid battens. Additional drainage space within each layer is provided at inter-panel connections, where tongue and groove connections are configured to leave such drainage space open between the tongue and groove.

A building system and a method for constructing a building, the system (100) comprising plurality of prefabricated elements (I), the element (1) comprising: a self-supporting insulation panel (2) comprising a rigid insulation material, —a metal frame (3), comprising a pair of sub-frames. The length of the sub-frame (7a, 7b) has a cross-section comprising an attaching arm (10) extending along the corresponding edge surface (6a, 6b), and an intruding section (11) arranged in the attaching arm (10), the intruding section (II) intruding into the insulation element (5). A box-type structure (12) is arranged distally from the intruding section (11) and comprising a closed or partly open construction. The building system further comprises a connecting element (4), having a cross-section basically a shape of a U-profile. The connecting element (4) is arranged on sub-frames (7a, 7b) of two adjacent elements (1).

An insulation mounting system utilizing a thermal break consisting of radiused and/or straight channels, slots and holes for the purpose of mounting specially shaped formed wire to hold-in-place rigid insulation installed onto walls of buildings. A structural clip for further positioning, holding, bending and/or directing the same formed wire shapes. A sub-girt that attaches to the structural clips vertically or horizontally as needed, a wire bending tool for use at intermediate formed wire locations between assembled thermal clips, and an anti-reversal clip with bendable attachment arm for holding other building materials if needed. Multiple alternate embodiments for the thermal break, formed wires and structural dips show that there's an almost a limitless amount of variations that a person skilled in the art could imagine and not exceed the scope of the application.

Modified and connected foam wall structures and methods for making them are described. The wall structures include a frame, a foam panel attached to the frame, a foam layer disposed in a cavity defined by the frame, and a structural adhesive. The structural adhesive may be disposed in at least one of: (A) an aperture located within the foam layer, and (B) an aperture located between the foam layer and a frame member. In some cases, a cured structural adhesive is located between connecting members of adjacent foam wall structures.

An external insulation penetration edge frame includes a frame portion constructed of an insulating material and comprising a front face, a rear face, an outside perimeter, an inside perimeter defining a frame opening, an outside portion extending from the outside perimeter toward the inside perimeter and an inside portion extending from internal edge toward outside edge, a mesh encapsulated in a base coat along the rear face, the inside perimeter, and the front face; and a plastic sheeting secured to the rear face of the inside portion and covering the frame opening.

A laminated plate-type sandwich insulation shear wall with tie bolts, including a prefabricated external wall, a sandwich insulation layer, a cast-in-place concrete layer, a prefabricated internal laminated wall board, and an external wall connector. Several bolts disposed between the external wall and the internal laminated wall board. Each tie bolt consists of cylinder head screw, gland, sleeve, and tie screw casing. During installation, the sandwich insulation wall with the bolts are installed in place in a suspended manner and is temporarily fixed, the tying and connection of reinforcing steel bars is completed, a formwork is supported, concrete is poured, the cylinder head screw is removed after the cast-in-place concrete solidifies and the strength of the cast-in-place concrete increases, and the bolt hole is filled with foamed polyurethane. The sandwich insulation wall solves the problem of mutual destruction of the external and internal walls due to the indoor and outdoor temperatures.
