Abstract: A stud for use in building structures is provided with a thermal break. The thermal break is formed by rows of slits with adjacent portions of the sheet material displaced relative to one another. This enables the stud to be formed by a simple rolling operation, without requiring a separate stamping operation to remove parts of the material. The stud can be formed integrally with an exterior panel, or can extend between interior and exterior panel portions of a combination panel.

Abstract: A building panel is formed from a single sheet of material, and comprises an inner panel portion, a web portion, and an outer panel portion. The web portion extends between the inner and outer panel portions. In use, the panels are arranged with adjacent inner and outer panel portions overlying one another. Consequently, an outer wall surface can be formed from the outer panel portions, while an inner wall surface is formed from the inner panel portions. To insulate the wall, insulation can be provided between the inner and outer panel portions.
