A building, comprises sheets of wooden material with the external walls (10), internal walls (1), floor and/or roof boards (20) each made of wooden sheets and of a double- or multi-skinned form, thus comprising at least one inner sheet (2, 12, 22) and at least one outer sheet (3, 13, 23) which are separated by spacer elements (4, 14, 24) and connected to each other by the same. Cavities (5, 15, 25) are provided between the sheets (2, 3; 12, 13; 22; 23). The sheets forming the inner walls (1), th...

In a preferred embodiment a frameless building includes a first set of four walls each in the form of a profiled trapezoidal shaped wall panel. Each panel includes a left and right side set of sub-panels each set comprising a bottom, middle and a top sub-panel. The left side edge or one panel is attached to the right side edge of another panel. All the panels are attached in this manner to lean towards one another and towards the inside of the building. A profile between the top and bottom edges...

A building has a ventilating space between its inner and outer exterior walls which is capable of effectively saving energy. The building's body has an inner exterior wall on which an outer wall is supported by means of supporting members to form a ventilating space therebetween. The space may also be used for accommodating piping and wiring for connecting main equipment installed on the rooftop of the building with respective terminal devices installed in separate rooms of the building. An air ...

Building containing a metal framework arranged on a base (20) and including a lower frame (2) and an upper frame (3) and vertical uprights (4) between mentioned frames and coupling devices for joining parts of the frames and the vertical uprights with the frames.

A multi-storey building is erected over an appreciable area on which it is either not desired or possible to build directly. The building consists essentially of a load bearing frame which spans the area without any intermediate supports and on which the storeys of the building are erected. The frame comprises a number of axially spaced arches and two series of staggered giant steps between each pair of neighbouring arches, the two series being on opposite sides of the apex of the frame and each...

A building of geodesic type and comprised of four sub-assembly hexagonal units, one of which units constitutes a roof and the other three are disposed in tripod fashion to support the roof and together therewith constitute a generally hemispherical space capturing structure. The upper portions of the spaces between the three wall hexagonal units are closed by isosceles preformed panels which will ordinarily be flat and trapezoid in form and identical with each other, while all the hexagonal unit...

A building employing prefabricated room-enclosing modules which function also as box-shaped horizontal beams and ties for connecting vertical weight-supporting columns into a rigid framework. The columns are preferably concrete members which are poured in place into spaces formed between the modules. The inter-module spaces include vertical chases and horizontal plenums which are in communication with each other and with a heating/cooling plant output, to form an air jacket which surrounds each ...

A building having a steel chassis supported on footings and peripheral metal supports which stand out from the chassis and support the outer peripheral walls of the building so that the ground supporting the footings is shielded from the effects of moisture penetration by the building itself.

A building is disclosed wherein roof trusses are supported by lintels which in turn are supported at their ends from vertical columns. The lintels support an upper channel and the foundation or footing supports a lower channel. Prefabricated wall panels are retained within the channels.
