Abstract: A conventional dimensioned wood building board have an outbound edge that has been incised and with some crown remediation. An even outboard foam insulation barrier layer is applied to the incised outboard edge of the board. A method for manufacturing multiples of these insulated wood building boards in an assembly line includes compressing the crown out of the side outbound edge of the boards, incising the crown side edge of the boards, applying an even thickness layer of outbound foam insulation to keep the boards within the dimension of conventional lumber, separating the boards and sanding to finish the wood boards with outboard foam insulation.

Abstract: Prefabricated, modular, completely like-constructed foundation, wall and roof assemblies are used to build inexpensively energy efficient houses and commercial buildings therefrom with a panel of preform weather resistant exterior skin. Being pre-built horizontally, above and away from the skin are suspended an array of parallel studs. Partially around the studs, between the studs and between the studs and skin is an expanding poured foam layer that is introduced forming a complete rigid thermal break. Apertures or openings in the unexposed stud portions provide for the mounting of conduiting, wiring and internal fixtures. Internal wall treatments, such as sheet rock, are then secured to the studs.

Abstract: A rigid moisture and air porous building furring strip for building walls and certain roof structures has an elongate outer facer sheet and an elongate inner facer sheet with an outer face. An open cellular core is sealed to and between the facer sheets that is porous to both air and moisture. A soft self-sealing butyl-like adhesive layer is optionally on the outer face of the inner face sheet for attachment of the furring strip to the outside of the build and underneath exterior cladding.

Abstract: A thermal break wood and rigid insulation wall support column, buttress or header is comprised of spaced apart multiple parallel and right angled wood panels. The right angled wood panels are secured together by box joints. Non-metallic angled mechanical fasteners hold the lumber panels together in a truss angled arrangement maintaining the panels spaced relationship. A thermal break section of rigid foam insulation is injected between the lumber panels and around the mechanical fasteners.

Abstract: A composite reinforced, optionally treated, wood stud for permanent wood foundations, above ground walls, floor joists, vertical support columns or headers for commercial and residential buildings has a first lumber section having a width and a depth and a second lumber section inverted with respect to the first lumber section having a width and a depth. A plurality of adjacent, aligned in a longitudinal row, mechanical fastening dowels angularly pass through the depth of the first lumber section and pass substantially through the width of the second lumber section. The dowels maintain a spatial relationship between the first and second lumber sections. The angularity of the dowels alternate vertically oppositely between adjacent dowels. From an end view, the dowel alternate in a cant relationship with adjacent dowels in a left and right manner.

Abstract: A thermal break wood and rigid insulation stud is comprised of two non-dimensional lumber sections with a thermal break section of rigid foam insulation therebetween. A non-metallic truss arrangement of mechanical fasteners holds the lumber and insulation sections secured together greatly improving the strength of the thermal break wood and rigid insulation stud. The studs in a wall are 24? on center. The studs are used for headers and sills and also may be used for top and bottom plates. The corners have an exterior all wood stud, an interior all wood stud and an interior all wood stud adjacent to the interior wood stud completing the interior corner for nailing gypsum board thereto. This corner has a thermal break space between the exterior and interior wood studs for insulation placement. The corners may also have two 3×6 thermal studs oriented 90 degrees from each other and an interior all wood stud for completing the interior corner for nailing gypsum board thereto.
