Frameless construction using single and double panels

Abstract

A method of constructing a budding comprising the steps of attaching a first panel to a second panel. The first panel is one of a single plenum panel and a multi-plenum panel and the second panel is one of a single plenum panel and a multi-plenum panel.

Wherefore I claim: 
     
         1 . A method of constructing a building comprising the steps of
 attaching a first panel to a second panel;   wherein the first panel is one of a single plenum panel and a multi-plenum panel; and   the second panel is one of a single plenum panel and a multi-plenum panel.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the single plenum panel comprises matrix members connecting a first sheet to a second sheet forming a single plenum panel plenum, and the multi-plenum panel comprises a top sheet and a middle sheet forming a first multi-plenum panel plenum and the middle sheet and a bottom sheet forming a second multi-plenum panel plenum. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the steps of
 forming one of a wall, a roof, a ceiling, and a floor of the building with the first panel; and 
 forming one of a wall, a roof, a ceiling, and a floor of the building with the second panel. 
 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the steps of attaching the first panel to a blocking. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  wherein one of the first panel and the first panel and the second panel extends across an entire span of one of a wall, a roof face, a floor, and a ceiling. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising connecting the first panel to a roof connector. 
     
     
         7 . The method of claim one further comprising connecting a third panel to the first panel and the second panel. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the steps of
 providing a connector hole in an exterior sheet of the first panel, and 
 directly mechanically attaching an interior load bearing sheet of the first panel to the second panel. 
 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the first panel allows airflow through an interior plenum. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of
 drilling a connector hole through an exterior sheet of the first panel with a toothed screw; 
 screwing a shank of the toothed screw through an interior sheet of the first panel; and 
 seating a head of the toothed screw on a plenum facing surface of an interior sheet of the first panel. 
 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of
 inserting a first portion of a coupling block into a plenum of the first panel; 
 inserting a second portion of a coupling block into a plenum of the second panel; and 
 fixedly attaching the first panel to the second panel via the coupling block. 
 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of
 inserting a first edge of the first panel into a first side of an H coupler; 
 inserting a first edge of the second panel into a second side of the coupler; and 
 fixedly attaching the first panel to the second panel via the H coupler. 
 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the steps of
 inserting a first portion of a shank of a spike into a spacing structural element of the first panel; 
 inserting a second portion of the shank of the spike into a spacing structural element of the second panel; and 
 fixedly attaching the first panel to the second panel via the spike. 
 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of providing a ventilation strip along an interior sheet of the first panel. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of one of mechanically and adhesively attaching an edge of a sheet of the first panel to an edge of a sheet of the second panel with attachment means.
