Advanced building envelope delivery system and method
View Patent ↗A building wall system includes first and second barrier panels, and an exterior facade system. Each panel includes an inner sheet and an outer sheet with a foam core positioned between the inner and outer sheets. Each of the inner and outer sheets defines an inner surface and an outer surface, respectively. A joint is defined by the first and second barrier panels. The exterior facade is secured to the first and second barrier panels via a fastener extending through the outer and inner sheets of the first barrier panel and the inner sheet of the second barrier panel without penetrating the inner surfaces of the first and second barrier panels.
1. A building wall system comprising:
first and second barrier panels, each panel comprising an inner sheet and an outer sheet with a foam core positioned between the inner and outer sheets, each of the first and second barrier panels defining an innermost surface and an outermost surface, the outermost surfaces of the first and second barrier panels defined by a portion of the respective outer sheets, the innermost surfaces of the first and second barrier panels defined by a portion of the respective inner sheets, and the inner sheet of the second barrier panel spaced from a portion of the outer sheet of the second barrier panel that defines the outermost surface; and
an exterior façade system comprising a subframe and at least one exterior panel,
wherein a joint is defined by the first and second barrier panels, the subframe engages at least one of the outer sheets of the first and second barrier panels and is secured to the first and second barrier panels via a fastener extending through the outermost surface of the first barrier panel, the outer and inner sheets of the first barrier panel, and the inner sheet of the second barrier panel without penetrating the innermost surfaces of the first and second barrier panels.
2. The building wall system of claim 1 , wherein the inner sheets of the first and second barrier panels each include an end portion, the end portions being positioned adjacent each other at the joint, the fastener extending through the inner sheets of the first and second barrier panels at a position adjacent to the end portions.
3. The building wall system of claim 2 , wherein the end portion of the inner sheet of the first barrier panel defines a female connector and the end portion of the inner sheet of the second barrier panel defines a male connector, the female connector receiving the male connector.
4. The building wall system of claim 2 , wherein the end portions overlap in a direction that extends perpendicularly from the outermost surfaces.
5. The building wall system of claim 2 , wherein sealant is positioned between the end portions of the inner sheets of the first and second barrier panels.
6. The building wall system of claim 3 , wherein sealant is positioned within the female connector.
7. The building wall system of claim 2 , wherein the end portions of the inner sheets of the first and second barrier panels are positioned between the innermost and outermost surfaces.
8. The building wall system of claim 3 , wherein the female connector and the male connector are positioned between the innermost and outermost surfaces.
9. The building wall system of claim 1 , wherein the inner and outer sheets comprise galvanized steel or aluminum.
10. The building wall system of claim 1 , wherein the foam core of the first and second barrier panels comprises a foam material selected from the group consisting of polyurethane, poly-isocyanurate, phenolic foam, and mineral wool.
11. The building wall system of claim 1 , wherein the outermost surface of the first and second barrier panels is striated or planked.
12. The building wall system of claim 1 , wherein the inner sheets of the first and second barrier panels each include an end portion, the end portions being positioned adjacent each other at the joint, each of the end portions comprising an overlapped section of the respective inner sheets, the fastener extending through the inner sheets of the first and second barrier panels at a position adjacent to the end portions.
13. The building wall system of claim 12 , wherein the end portion of the inner sheet of the first barrier panel defines a female connection and the end portion of the inner sheet of the second barrier panel defines a male connection, the female connection receiving the male connection.
14. The building wall system of claim 12 , wherein the end portions overlap in a direction that extends perpendicularly from the outermost surfaces.
15. The building wall system of claim 12 , wherein sealant is positioned between the end portion of the inner sheets of the first and second barrier panels.
16. The building wall system of claim 13 , wherein sealant is positioned within the female connector.
17. The building wall system of claim 12 , wherein the end portion of the inner sheets of the first and second barrier panels are positioned between the innermost and outermost surfaces.
18. The building wall system of claim 13 , wherein the female connector and the male connector are positioned between the innermost and outermost surfaces.
19. A building wall system comprising:
first and second barrier panels, each panel comprising an inner sheet and an outer sheet with a foam core positioned between the inner and outer sheets, each of the first and second barrier panels defining an innermost surface and an outermost surface, the outermost surfaces of the first and second barrier panels defined by a portion of the respective outer sheets, the innermost surfaces of the first and second barrier panels defined by a portion of the respective inner sheets, and the inner sheet of the second barrier panel spaced from a portion of the outer sheet of the second barrier panel that defines the outermost surface; and
an exterior façade system comprising a subframe,
wherein a joint is defined by the first and second barrier panels when the first and second barrier panels are joined to each other, the subframe is secured to the first and second barrier panels via a fastener that extends through the subframe, through the outermost surface of the first barrier panel, the outer and inner sheets of the first barrier panel, and the inner sheet of the second barrier panel without penetrating the innermost surfaces of the first and second barrier panels.
20. The building wall system of claim 19 , further comprising a panel clip, wherein the joint defines a space between the first and second barrier panels with a portion of the panel clip positioned in the space.
