Abstract

The present invention relates to a thermal shell for a building, apt to constitute a multi-layer system formed by three integral elements having, respectively, from the outside towards the inside: an external peripheral wall/casing with the function of thermal insulating wall; an interspace filled with air to be conditioned; an internal wall/casing with the function of heat-radiating wall/casing; comprising: a covering structure ( 10 ) positioned around the building ( 1 ), or part of said building ( 1 ), the covering structure ( 10 ) comprising, proceeding from the outside towards the inside of the building ( 1 ): a coating ( 11 ), an insulating layer ( 16 ) and an interspace ( 12 ); the interspace ( 12 ) containing air and forming a closed and isolated room with respect to the surrounding environment; means ( 13 ) of thermal conditioning of the air contained in the interspace, so that the shell defines an internal wall/casing.

Claims (20)

1. A thermal shell for a building comprising

a covering structure for surrounding a building having an interior, or part of a building having an interior, wherein said covering structure comprises, proceeding from an outside environment towards the interior of the building: a coating, a thermal insulating layer, an interspace and a heat radiating wall where said interspace is positioned between said thermal insulating layer and said heat radiating wall wherein the interspace contains air, is closed and isolated with respect to a surrounding environment outside said building and is closed with respect to a surrounding environment inside said building; and

wherein the thermal shell additionally comprises means for thermal conditioning of the air contained in the interspace;

so that the heat of the air contained in the interspace is transmitted to the interior of the building by heat radiation.

2. Thermal shell according to claim 1 , wherein the means for thermal conditioning of the air in the interspace are heat radiating means.

3. Thermal shell according to claim 1 , wherein the means for thermal conditioning of the air in the interspace are of the type that operates by means of forced air convection and comprise a suction inlet of air to be conditioned and an outlet of a forced flow of conditioned air, wherein said outlet is in fluid connection with the interspace; wherein the thermal shell additionally comprises means for recirculating air from the interspace to the means for thermal conditioning of the air;

wherein the means for recirculating air comprise a pipe connected to said suction inlet of the means for thermal conditioning of the air.

4. Thermal shell according to claim 3 , wherein the thermal shell comprises a second interspace, arranged externally with respect to said interspace.

5. Thermal shell according to claim 3 , wherein the means for thermal conditioning of air comprise a thermal conditioner.

6. Thermal shell according to claim 3 , wherein the means for thermal conditioning of air comprise a fan heater.

7. Thermal shell according to claim 3 , wherein the means for thermal conditioning of air comprise a fan coil.

8. Thermal shell according to claim 3 , wherein the means for thermal conditioning of air comprise an air conditioner.

9. Thermal shell according to claim 1 wherein the covering structure is composed of panels.

10. Thermal shell according to claim 2 wherein the covering structure is composed of panels.

11. Thermal shell according to claim 3 wherein the covering structure is composed of panels.

12. Thermal shell according to claim 4 wherein the covering structure is composed of panels.

13. Thermal shell according to claim 5 wherein the covering structure is composed of panels.

14. Thermal shell according to claim 6 wherein the covering structure is composed of panels.

15. Thermal shell according to claim 7 wherein the covering structure is composed of panels.

16. Thermal shell according to claim 8 wherein the covering structure is composed of panels.
