Abstract

A method of constructing a budding comprising the steps of attaching a first panel to a second panel. The first panel is one of a single plenum panel and a multi-plenum panel and the second panel is one of a single plenum panel and a multi-plenum panel.

Claims (34)

1 . A method of constructing a building comprising the steps of

attaching a first panel to a second panel;

wherein the first panel is one of a single plenum panel and a multi-plenum panel; and

the second panel is one of a single plenum panel and a multi-plenum panel.

2 . The method of claim 1 wherein the single plenum panel comprises matrix members connecting a first sheet to a second sheet forming a single plenum panel plenum, and the multi-plenum panel comprises a top sheet and a middle sheet forming a first multi-plenum panel plenum and the middle sheet and a bottom sheet forming a second multi-plenum panel plenum.

3 . The method of claim 1 further comprising the steps of

forming one of a wall, a roof, a ceiling, and a floor of the building with the first panel; and

forming one of a wall, a roof, a ceiling, and a floor of the building with the second panel.

4 . The method of claim 1 further comprising the steps of attaching the first panel to a blocking.

5 . The method of claim 1 wherein one of the first panel and the first panel and the second panel extends across an entire span of one of a wall, a roof face, a floor, and a ceiling.

6 . The method of claim 1 further comprising connecting the first panel to a roof connector.

7 . The method of claim one further comprising connecting a third panel to the first panel and the second panel.

8 . The method of claim 1 further comprising the steps of

providing a connector hole in an exterior sheet of the first panel, and

directly mechanically attaching an interior load bearing sheet of the first panel to the second panel.

9 . The method of claim 1 wherein the first panel allows airflow through an interior plenum.

10 . The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of

drilling a connector hole through an exterior sheet of the first panel with a toothed screw;

screwing a shank of the toothed screw through an interior sheet of the first panel; and

seating a head of the toothed screw on a plenum facing surface of an interior sheet of the first panel.

11 . The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of

inserting a first portion of a coupling block into a plenum of the first panel;

inserting a second portion of a coupling block into a plenum of the second panel; and

fixedly attaching the first panel to the second panel via the coupling block.

12 . The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of

inserting a first edge of the first panel into a first side of an H coupler;

inserting a first edge of the second panel into a second side of the coupler; and

fixedly attaching the first panel to the second panel via the H coupler.

13 . The method of claim 1 further comprising the steps of

inserting a first portion of a shank of a spike into a spacing structural element of the first panel;

inserting a second portion of the shank of the spike into a spacing structural element of the second panel; and

fixedly attaching the first panel to the second panel via the spike.

14 . The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of providing a ventilation strip along an interior sheet of the first panel.

15 . The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of one of mechanically and adhesively attaching an edge of a sheet of the first panel to an edge of a sheet of the second panel with attachment means.
