Abstract
A modular building panel and integrated duct system including at least one modular building panel. The modular building panel includes a panel frame defining a longitudinal, a transverse width, and a transverse height; first and second ducts including therein duct stiffeners being truss or zig-zag shaped; and a ribbed joist spanning between the first duct to the second duct along the transverse width. The modular building panel may be connected to a like modular building panel.
Claims15
A modular building panel, comprising:
- a panel frame defining a longitudinal length, a transverse width, and a transverse height;
- a first duct at least partly defined by the panel frame and defining a first passage extending along the longitudinal length of the panel frame and positioned along the transverse width;
- a first duct stiffener contained within the first duct for providing structural support, the first duct stiffener being truss or zig-zag shaped and extending along the transverse width and the transverse height;
- a second duct at least partly defined by the panel frame and defining a second passage extending along the longitudinal length of the panel frame and positioned along the transverse width separate from the first duct;
- a second duct stiffener contained within the second duct for providing structural support, the second duct stiffener being truss or zig-zag shaped and extending along the transverse width and the transverse height;
- and
- a wall of the first duct and the second duct comprising a ribbed joist spanning between the first duct and the second duct along the transverse width.
