(15) It is important to say that airtightness in all the system junctions must be ensured since this is an important part to enhance the thermal and sound comfort of the building. In FIG. 3 to ensure the airtightness in the steel oval tube (3) filling material must be applied (4) in the ends to then apply sealing material (5).

This junction must be secured with filling material along the junction (11) and by applying sealing material (12) to give airtightness to the junction. If work is to be made inside the steel oval tube (3) the steel oval tube (3) may be cut near to the C-shaped beam (10) and then covered with a cover (15).

(20) FIG. 9 shows the system as a container for materials with thermal and/or sound properties (20), which serve to ensure the building comfort, this thermo-sound properties material (20) must be along the steel oval tube (3) and airtightness must be secured inside of it with sealing material (5).

(21) FIG. 10 shows how the configuration of the system would enhance the greenhouse effect to improve the climatic conditions inside of the building, for this a transparent plate (22) is installed to allow the entrance of sun radiation (19) but it does not allow the exit of thermal radiation (23), forcing the thermal radiation (23) to exit only inside of the building. It is important to explain that the steel oval tubes (3) must be filled with materials with thermal and/or sound properties (20) and they must be painted with dark paint (24) on the part facing the sun, where the filling materials with thermo-sound properties (20) for thermal isolation are taken from cork, cotton, wood chips, ardite, vermiculite, wheat husks, spelt, linen, cereal lump, hemp, cellulose, wood fiber, wood wool, canes, straw, herb, rock wool, glass wool, natural sheep wool, cellulose foam, PSM; the filling materials with thermo-sound properties (20) for the thermal mass are taken from oil, plaster, silicon, acrylic, epoxy, polyurea, polyethylene, polymers and polystyrene.
