Pre-engineered modular building panel assembly
First Claim
1. A panel assembly comprising:
- a plurality of panel sets including a plurality of rigid panel members, each panel member having a panel wall and first and second longitudinal edge flanges configured for overlapping and mating reception to define a panel joint with one of the second and first edge flanges respectively of an adjacent second panel member, said first and second edge flanges having end portions disposed remote from said panel wall to define a panel cavity, each panel set further including a first end panel joint, a second end panel joint and at least one intermediate panel joint;
an insulating core comprising a plurality of insulating core sets with each core set including an insulating body and a moisture barrier skin received in said panel cavity and about said panel joints and being sized to span one of said panel sets, said insulating body including intermediate longitudinal slots for receiving intermediate panel joints of said one panel set; and
,means for fastening said edge flanges and said insulating core.

Abstract
A panel assembly is provided particularly adapted for a pre-engineered insulated modular panel assembly. The panel assembly is comprised of a plurality of panel sets with each set including a plurality of rigid panel members. Each panel member has a panel wall with first and second longitudinal edge flanges configured for overlapping and mating reception with the edge flanges of an adjacent panel member to define panel joints. The first and second edge flanges have end portions disposed remote from the panel wall to define a panel cavity. Each panel set further includes a first end panel joint, a second end panel joint and at least one intermediate panel joint. An insulating core is provided comprising a plurality of insulating core sets with each set including an insulating body and a moisture barrier skin received in the panel cavity and about the panel joints. Each insulating core set is sized to span one of the panel sets. The insulating body includes intermediate longitudinal slots for receiving intermediate panel joints of the panel sets. Means are provided for fastening the edge flanges and the insulating core.
