Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for an insulated wall panel. An embodiment of the insulated wall panel having an insulating layer with sheathing on one side and a plurality of studs on the other. Another embodiment of the insulated wall panel having a removable chase portion formed in an insulating panel.

1 . An insulated wall panel, comprising:
 sheathing;   an insulating layer adjacent the sheathing; and   a plurality of studs adjacent the insulating layer opposite the sheathing.   
   
   
       2 . The insulated wall panel of  claim 1 , further comprising a header plate attached to the plurality of studs. 
   
   
       3 . The insulated wall panel of  claim 1 , further comprising a base plate attached to the plurality of studs. 
   
   
       4 . The insulated wall panel of  claim 3 , wherein the insulating layer and the sheathing extend past the base plate. 
   
   
       5 . The insulated wall panel of  claim 3 , wherein, when installed, the base plate is set on a top of a floor structure and the insulating layer and sheathing extend along an edge of the floor structure. 
   
   
       6 . The insulated wall panel of  claim 1 , further comprising an insulating panel disposed adjacent the insulating layer and between two of the plurality of studs. 
   
   
       7 . The insulated wall panel of  claim 6 , wherein the insulating panel is formed with the insulating layer. 
   
   
       8 . The insulated wall panel of  claim 6 , further comprising a removable chase portion formed in the insulating panel. 
   
   
       9 . The insulated wall panel of  claim 8 , wherein the removable chase portion is removed to form a chase in the insulated wall panel. 
   
   
       10 . The insulated wall panel of  claim 1 , further comprising a fastener disposed through the sheathing and the insulating layer and extending into one of the plurality of studs. 
   
   
       11 . The insulated wall panel of  claim 1 , wherein the sheathing has a first side and a second side and the insulating layer is adjacent the first side of the sheathing, further comprising a radiant barrier adjacent the second side of the sheathing. 
   
   
       12 . An insulated wall panel, comprising:
 sheathing;   a plurality of studs adjacent the insulating layer opposite the sheathing; and   an insulating panel disposed between two of the plurality of studs, the insulating panel having a removable chase portion formed therein.   
   
   
       13 . The insulated wall panel of  claim 12 , wherein the removable chase portion is separated from the insulating panel by at least one cut. 
   
   
       14 . The insulated wall panel of  claim 12 , wherein the removable chase portion further includes a depression and the removable chase portion is separated from the insulating panel by engaging the depression and pulling the removable chase portion from the insulating panel. 
   
   
       15 . The insulated wall panel of  claim 12 , wherein the sheathing has a first side and a second side and the insulating layer is adjacent the first side of the sheathing, further comprising a radiant barrier adjacent the second side of the sheathing. 
   
   
       16 . An insulated wall panel, comprising:
 sheathing having a first side and a second side;   an insulating material having a first side attached continuously to the first side of the sheathing and a second side;   a plurality of structural support members adjacent the second side of the insulating material; and   a radiant barrier adjacent the second side of the sheathing.   
   
   
       17 . The insulated wall panel of  claim 16 , further comprising a base plate attached to the plurality of studs. 
   
   
       18 . The insulated wall panel of  claim 17 , wherein the insulating layer and the sheathing extend past the base plate. 
   
   
       19 . The insulated wall panel of  claim 16 , further comprising an insulating panel disposed adjacent the insulating layer and between two of the plurality of studs. 
   
   
       20 . The insulated wall panel of  claim 19 , further comprising a removable chase portion formed in the insulating panel.
