2. Structural insulated panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_insulated_panel

   SIP systems were used by Woods Constructors of Santa Paula, California, in their homes and apartments from 1965 until 1984. This work was the basis for John Thomas Woods, Paul Flather Woods, John David Woods, and Frederick Thomas Woods when they used a similar concept to patent the Footing Form for Modular homes (US Patent No. 4817353) issued ...

3. Passive solar building design - Wikipedia

   These systems require good drainage systems, movable insulation, and an enhanced structural system to support a 35 to 70 lb/ft 2 (1.7 to 3.3 kN/m 2) dead load. With the angles of incidence of sunlight during the day, roof ponds are only effective for heating at lower and mid-latitudes, in hot to temperate climates.

4. Domestic roof construction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_roof_construction

   The blue pieces are roll formed metal roof battens or purlins. This roof is built with purpose-made steel hook bracket which is bolted to the truss with M16 bolt. The bracket is bolted to an M16 bolt cast in situ, embedded 300 mm (12 in) into the reinforced concrete block wall. This system is typically in place every 900 mm (35 in) around perimeter

5. Insulating concrete form - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulating_concrete_form

   This polystyrene insulated concrete form is cut away to show the inner structure of the formwork and the reinforcing bar (rebar). The cavity is filled with concrete to create the permanent wall. Insulating concrete forms or insulated concrete forms (ICF) are a building system to create reinforced concrete walls or floors with integral insulation.

6. Building insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation

   In cold conditions, the main aim is to reduce heat flow out of the building. The components of the building envelope—windows, doors, roofs, floors/foundations, walls, and air infiltration barriers—are all important sources of heat loss; [35] [36] in an otherwise well insulated home, windows will then become an important source of heat ...

7. Metal roof - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_roof

   A metal roof is a roofing system featuring metal pieces or tiles exhibiting corrosion resistance, impermeability to water, and long life. It is a component of the building envelope . The metal pieces may be a covering on a structural, non-waterproof roof, or they could be self-supporting sheets.
