Air Handling Unit Construction

An air-handling unit comprising:

• a housing bounding and defining a conditioned interior space;
• and
• a wall of the housing formed as a single, continuous structural assembly extending along an entire length of the housing;
• wherein the wall includes multiple insulation panels joined end-to-end and a plurality of frame elements embedded within the insulation panels;
• and
• adjacent frame elements are coupled end-to-end within the insulation panels to define the wall as a continuous load-bearing member extending along the length of the housing.

An air-handling unit comprising:

• a continuous wall formed from a plurality of insulation panels and frame elements;
• an interior space within the air-handling unit, bound by the continuous wall;
• adjacent insulation panels bound and define a void between the adjacent insulation panels, and the frame element is received in the void;
• and
• the void is open to the interior space and is closed to an outside of the continuous wall.
