Abstract
A building system including a building panel with insulation, an integrated weather resistant barrier, and sheathing. The insulated building panel increases the energy efficiency of the building system while providing protection against water, air and heat. The insulated building panel is pre-fabricated with the weather resistant barrier for easy installation.
Claims15
An energy efficient insulated building panel comprising:
- an insulation layer;
- a rigid sheathing material;
- and
- a weather resistant barrier;
- wherein the panel includes a drainage plane;
- wherein the insulation layer includes a foam insulator wherein the foam insulator includes polyurethane;
- wherein the polyurethane foam insulator is self-adhered to the sheathing material;
- wherein the panel does not include a separate adhesive bonding the polyurethane foam insulator to the sheathing material;
- wherein the panel does not include a stud;
- wherein the panel includes a corrugated, ridged, or grooved surface;
- wherein the weather resistant barrier is wrapped or layered on the corrugated, ridged, or grooved surface;
- wherein a gap between the weather resistant barrier and the corrugated, ridged, or grooved surface defines the drainage plane;
- and
- wherein the polyurethane foam insulator has a flame spread value between about 0 and about 25 as determined by the ASTM E84 procedure and a smoke developed value between about 0 and about 450 as determined by the ASTM E84 procedure.
