In addition, the vacuum heat-insulating material is disposed on a rear surface side of the wall material, and the inner member is configured of a material which does not generate hydrogen in a case of coming into contact with moisture of liquid. According to the configuration, even in a case where the vacuum heat-insulating material used in the dwelling wall is ruptured and water of liquid comes into contact with the inner member, it is possible to realize excellent stability of the dwelling wall. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A dwelling wall comprising: a vacuum heat-insulating material including an outer cover material, and an inner member which is sealed in a tightly closed and decompressed state on an inside of the outer cover material; and a wall material, wherein the vacuum heat-insulating material is disposed on a rear surface side of the wall material, and wherein the inner member comprises a chemical adsorbent for adsorbing gases including vapor, the inner member being configured of a material which does not generate hydrogen in a case of coming into contact with moisture of liquid, wherein the adsorbent is processed to have a shape of which a ratio of a sectional area (CS) with respect to a thickness (T2) is within a range of T2:CS=1:100 to 1:250. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The dwelling wall according to claim 1, wherein the inner member included in the vacuum heat-insulating material includes a core material having heat-insulating properties and an adsorbent which is capable of adsorbing gas on the inside of the outer cover material. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The dwelling wall according to claim 2, wherein at least one of materials among a material which does not chemically react to water, a material of which a hydrogen generation amount per 1 g is less than 80 mL when chemically reacting to the water, and a material of which a standard electrode potential is equal to or greater than −2.0 V, is used as an element material which forms the adsorbent. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The dwelling wall according to claim 2, wherein at least any one condition among (1) a condition that the adsorbent has a shape of particles and particles having a particle diameter which is within a range of 0.01 to 1400 m are 80% by volume or more, (2) a condition that the adsorbent has a shape of particles of which an average particle diameter is within a range of 0.01 to 1400 m, (3) a condition that the adsorbent has a shape of particles of which density is within a range of 0.2 to 1.4 g/mL, and (4) a condition that the adsorbent has a shape of particles of which a specific surface area is within a range of 200 to 2000 m2/g, is satisfied. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The dwelling wall according to claim 2, wherein the adsorbent is processed to have a shape having a thickness which is equal to or less than 60% of a thickness of the vacuum heat-insulating material. ### Claim 6 The dwelling wall according to 5, wherein a heat-insulating member is layered on or covers upper and lower surfaces in a thickness direction of the vacuum heat-insulating material, in the adsorbent. ### Claim 7 (depends on 2) The dwelling wall according to claim 2, wherein the core material is configured of an inorganic fiber or a thermosetting foam body. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The dwelling wall according to claim 1, wherein the vacuum heat-insulating material is fixed to a rear surface of the wall material, and is configured in a shape of a heat-insulating panel material. ### Claim 9 A vacuum heat-insulating material which is used in a dwelling wall provided with a wall material and is disposed on a rear surface side of the wall material, comprising: an outer cover material; and an inner member which is sealed in a tightly closed and decompressed state on an inside of the outer cover material, wherein the inner member comprises a chemical adsorbent for adsorbing gases including vapor, the inner member being configured of a material which does not generate hydrogen in a case of coming into contact with moisture of liquid, wherein the adsorbent is processed to have a shape of which a ratio of a sectional area (CS) with respect to a thickness (T2) is within a range of T2:CS=1:100 to 1:250.
