The invention includes pre-formed building panels and building constructed from pre-formed building panels. Additionally, the invention includes methods of forming pre-formed building panels and methods of forming buildings. In one aspect, the invention includes a method of forming a building panel comprising: a) forming a metal core, the metal core having first and second opposing ends; b) joining a first cap to the first opposing end; c) joining a second cap to the second opposing end; and d) forming a foam between the caps, the foam comprising a mass which encapsulates an entirety of the metal core between the ends. In another aspect, the invention includes a building comprising: a) a plurality of wall panels individually comprising a corrugated metal wire core completely encapsulated between end caps and within a low density material; b) the wall panels being abutted side-by-side to form a building wall; c) a cavity in the wall, the cavity not extending through the corrugated metal wire core; and d) electrical wiring witthin the cavity, the electrical wiring extending between at least two electrical components. In another aspect, the invention includes a building panel comprising a corrugated metal wire core substantially completely encapsulated in a low density material. |
