Abstract

A building includes an upper floor having a floor part, a directly lower floor located immediately below the floor part, a pillar provided on the floor part, an outer wall attached to the pillar and having one surface facing an external space and another surface facing an interior space, and an air-conditioning panel adopted in at least a part of the outer wall and provides an air-conditioning effect to the interior space. The floor part has a gap between the floor part and the outer wall, in which the gap is within the thickness range of the pillar, and is configured to allow air circulation between the directly lower floor and the upper floor through the gap.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A building comprising:
 an upper floor having a floor part;   a directly lower floor located directly below the floor part;   a pillar provided on the floor part;   an outer wall attached to the pillar and having one side facing an exterior space and the other side facing an interior space; and   an air-conditioning panel adopted for at least a part of the outer wall and providing an air-conditioning effect to the interior space,   wherein the floor part has a gap between the floor part and the outer wall, wherein the gap is within a thickness range of the pillar, and the floor part is configured to allow air circulation between the directly lower floor and the upper floor through the gap.   
     
     
         2 . The building according to  claim 1 , further comprising a girth part with a beam width narrower than that of the pillar,
 wherein the gap is formed between the girth part and the outer wall.   
     
     
         3 . The building according to  claim 1 , further comprising a furring strip attached to an outside of the pillar,
 wherein the gap is formed by attaching the outer wall to the pillar via the furring strip.   
     
     
         4 . The building according to  claim 1 , wherein the air-conditioning panel has a heat insulation layer that insulates the interior space and the exterior space, and does not include an interior material on an indoor surface such that the indoor surface is directly exposed to an indoor air. 
     
     
         5 . The building according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a pressure difference generator configured to generate a pressure difference between one side and the other side; and   an atrium vertically extends through the upper floor and the directly lower floor and having a size equal to or greater than the thickness of the pillar and provided with the pressure difference generator.   
     
     
         6 . The building according to  claim 5 , wherein
 the building further comprises at least one floor above the upper floor or below the directly lower floor,   the atrium vertically extends through at least three floors, and   the building further comprises, among the floors that vertically extended through, on a middle floor except for highest and lowest floors, a shield configured to close a space portion facing the atrium and the middle floor.   
     
     
         7 . The building according to  claim 1 , wherein the upper floor is an attic. 
     
     
         8 . The building according to  claim 1 , wherein the directly lower floor is an underfloor floor.
