Abstract: A component building assembly is disclosed comprising a plurality of panels each having an inner and an outer skin with insulation interposed therebetween. The inner and outer skin of each of the panels extend beyond the insulation creating panel grooves about the perimeter of the panel. The insulation preferably comprises a substantially rigid foam insulation such as foam polystyrene, foam polyurethane or the like. The outer skin may comprise wood, aluminum or plastic, whereas the inner skin may be metallic, plasterboard, plastic or wood. A first support stud is secured to a slab or a horizontal joist. A first interpanel stud extends upwardly from the first support stud. A first panel is mounted with the panel grooves of adjoining ends at least partially receiving the first support stud and the first interpanel stud. A second interpanel stud is secured to extend upwardly from the first support stud and within a panel groove of the first panel.

Abstract: The building or house assembly elements disclosed herein comprise prefabricated wall panels and linearly grooved vertical studs or pillars or horizontal joists into which the edges of these wall panels are fitted and supported. The wall panels comprise a laminated structure with a thick interior section of insulation such as foam polystyrene, foam polyurethane, fiberglass, etc. with outer surfaces comprising wood, aluminum, plastic, etc. which is laminated to the insulation material. The overall width of the laminated panel is of the same dimension as the width of the grooves in the pillars or joists so as to fit tightly therein. Each panel has a substantial length so that generally no more than two panels are sufficient to fill the full length of said linear groove. The structure of this invention is particularly adaptable to the inclusion of windows and doors in the structure.
