A thermal break system for securing wall panels to an existing wall includes a furring member connected between the existing wall and the wall panels, the furring member including at two foot walls adapted to be connected to the existing wall, at least one spacing wall having one end connected to the foot walls and extending in a direction transverse to the at least one foot wall and the existing wall, and a connection wall connected to an opposite end of the at least one spacing wall and extending in a direction transverse to the at least one spacing wall for connection either directly to adjacent wall panels or indirectly to adjacent wall panels through at least one intermediary member; and a thermal insulation cover positioned at least between the at least one foot wall and the existing wall.

A structure for a multi-story building comprises a first passageway constructed internally within a building being configured with a mount for a ducted condenser unit (DCU) of a split type, unitary air conditioning system to achieve a desired level of condenser based heat dissipation and with a plurality of penetrations to accommodate a conduit through which refrigerant circulates between inside and outside units of the air conditioning system; and a second passageway constructed internally within the building for receiving air discharged from the DCU the second passageway terminating at an opening of the building through which the discharged air is exhausted to the atmosphere. The passageways have walls that are essentially closed, with the exception of the wall that is formed with an opening through which the discharged air flows. One or both of the first and second passageways upwardly extends across at least two stories of the building.

The invention relates to a sound-absorbent element for an air outlet, said air outlet comprising a housing with an air outlet opening and a connection to an air supply shaft, at least one sound-absorbent element being mounted in said housing and/or a housing of the air supply shaft, and said sound-absorbent element comprising a carrier that is connected to at least one layer of sound-absorbent material. Said at least one layer of sound-absorbent material comprises activated carbon, or at least one additional layer of activated carbon is applied to this layer of sound-absorbent material.

The present invention entails a rooftop exhaust system for a building. The exhaust system includes a motor that is configured to directly drive a fan. The fan during the course of operation generates a negative pressure on the upstream side of the fan. This negative pressure is utilized to induce outside cooling air into a shroud that partially encloses the motor. Cooling air passing through the shroud contacts the motor and heat associated with the motor is transferred to the cooling air after which the cooling air exits the shroud.
