A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
A construction panel comprising first and second outer layers, preferably exterior and interior substrates 1.5 and 1.6, an insulated layer, preferable expanded foam 1.4, sandwiched between the two outer layers, the panel having at least one integral feature, which may be conduits 1.3 for routing services such as electrical wiring, fixings for attachment of furniture such as shelves (Fig. 2.0), a window (Fig. 3.0), storage such as a cupboard (Fig. 4.0), lighting such as spotlights (Fig 5.0), heating and cooling pipe work (Fig. 6.0), ventilation conduits (Fig. 7.0) or an energy generation device such as a photovoltaic solar cell. There may be a vertical profiled side member 1.1 allowing attachment to adjacent panels and a horizontal profiled side member 1.2 allowing mating with beams/lintels of a construction, the side members forming a water resistant seal, the horizontal side member having a foam injection port 1.9 and a breather or vent port 1.10. The panel may form part of a buildings external or internal wall, floor or roof, or an exhibition stand.
