Benefits of technology

[0007]The present invention provides a system and method for panelized, superinsulated building envelopes that reduces or substantially eliminates many problems in building construction including heat transfer between building interiors and exteriors, thermal bridging, and l

Problems solved by technology

However, due to the nature of such framed lumber, thermal bridging often detrimentally occurs to facilitate heat transfer within walls.
As well, a variety of leakage points exist due to difficulties inherent to current vapor barrier technology.
Disadvantageously however, standard SIP technology

Example

[0044]The present invention is a system and method which provides panelized, superinsulated building envelopes. In general, panel sections in accordance with the invention are shop-fabricated as completed assemblies or as partial assemblies and are installed as components on a building site. Assemblies in accordance with the present invention may include wall, roof, and floor assemblies. Such assemblies provide a new and useful alternative to standard SIPs such that the inventive assemblies are both thermal bridge free and foam free.

[0045]All assemblies in accordance with the present invention are designed and constructed to be highly energy efficient, resilient and durable, and to meet the voluntary International Passive House building energy standard and / or the Passive House Institute of the United States building energy standard. It should be understood that all parts of each building component or assembly are equally important to the overall inventive system and method in order ...

Abstract

Panelized wall and roof structures for constructing energy efficient buildings. The panelized structures have a structural layer with insulation, an airtight layer providing a primary air barrier and a vapor retarder exterior to the structural layer, a vapor open blanket layer including insulation and attached to the structural layer via structural screws, a weather resistant barrier provided exterior to the blanket layer and including an airtight, water-repelling, vapor-open fabric, and a rain screen provided exterior to the weather resistant barrier and including a drainage plane for channeling moisture away from the weather resistant barrier.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present invention claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62 / 197,931 filed on 28 Jul. 2015 and herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to the field of construction of energy efficient buildings. Moreover, the present invention relates to panelized, superinsulated building systems and methods.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]In the design and construction of buildings, it is well known that energy efficiency and building insulation go hand in hand. Accordingly, numerous types of insulation systems and methods exist. Within typical “stick built” construction using framed lumber, voids are created within walls. In such exterior walls, these voids are often filled with fiberglass, cellulose-based, or foam material which have varied insulative value. Vapor barriers are typically added to such exterior walls in order to enhance the insulative effect. However...
