METHODS AND DEVICES FOR UTILIZING A THERMALLY-EFFICIENT BUILDING BLOCK

摘要

The invention discloses devices and methods utilizing a thermally efficient building block. The block generally has three walls separated by two open spaces. One open space, the closest to the outside of the building, generally serves to remove unwanted heat entering through the outer wall of the block; the second open space is adapted to accept infrastructure elements such as wires, cables, and pipes. The block prevents unwanted heat from entering usable spaces while also protecting heat generated within a structure.

主权项

1. A thermally efficient building block including the following:
three parallel walls of similar dimensions, said walls being composed of predetermined materials and attached at points at the base and top of said walls, wherein said walls may be made of the same or different materials and said points of attachment create a first open space between a first of said walls and a second of said walls, as well as a second open space between said second of said walls and a third of said walls, wherein said first open space is adapted to allow for the flow of hot air upwards and away from said second of said walls.
