• more than one building element, each building element comprising:
• a first panel having an outer surface and an inner surface;
• a second panel having an outer surface and an inner surface;
• more than one spacer having a first end and a second end, the first end of each spacer being positioned adjacent to the inner surface of the first panel and the second end of each spacer being positioned adjacent to the inner surface of the second panel such that the inner surface of the first panel and the inner surface of the second panel form a cavity for receiving a structural component, the second end of each spacer being connected to the second panel, the first end and the second end of each spacer having a first part of a first two-part connector;
• and
• at least one connector strap extending longitudinally along each of the outer surfaces of the first panel and the second panel, each connector strap carrying more than one second part of the first two-part connector, each second part of the first two-part connector connecting to one of the first parts of the first two-part connector such that each connector strap attaches to respective ones of the spacers;
• the building elements being positioned to form an enclosure with each second panel positioned within the enclosure;
• and
• wherein the second part of the first two-part connector comprises a male connector having opposing legs, the opposing legs comprising an outer engagement profile and the first part of the of the first two-part connector comprises a female connector, the female connector configured for receiving the male connector, the female connector further comprising a retainer configured to insert between the opposing legs and urge the opposing legs away from each other such that the outer engagement profile is forced outward into engagement with an opening disposed through the female connector when the male connector is inserted into the female connector to prevent the removal of the male connector from the female connector.

A structure comprising:

• more than one planar building element, each planar building element comprising:
• a first panel having an outer surface and an inner surface;
