Abstract

This building includes a power supply coil of a contactless power supply system using magnetic resonance type. Then, a construction method for this building includes steps of: linking a plurality of building members to each other respectively provided with split wires into which a power supply coil forming a loop as a whole is split at a plurality of locations along an extending direction of the power supply coil, so as to surround an indoor space; and forming the power supply coil surrounding the indoor space by electrically connecting the respective split wires to each other.

Claims

1. A building comprising:

a power supply coil of a contactless power supply system using magnetic field resonance.

2. The building according to claim 1,

wherein the power supply coil is arranged between a building member located on the innermost layer facing an indoor space and another building member located on the outermost layer facing the outdoor.

3. The building according to claim 1, further comprising:

a repeater that is configured to resonate at the same frequency as that of the power supply coil.

4. The building according to claim 1, further comprising:

a plurality of building members which is continuously provided so as to surround an indoor space,

wherein the power supply coil is provided in the respective building members so as to form a loop surrounding the indoor space along the respective building members in the arrangement direction.

5. The building according to claim 4,

wherein the power supply coil comprises split wires that are split for each of the building members, and a connector that electrically connects the split wires to each other.

6. The building according to claim 4,

wherein the building member is at least one of a wall material, skirting board, flooring material and ceiling material.

7. The building according to claim 1, further comprising:

a building member having an indoor surface facing an indoor space,

wherein the power supply coil includes a plurality of small coils, and the small coils are arrayed so as to divide the indoor surface into a plurality of regions.

8. The building according to claim 7,

wherein the building member is a flooring material including joists arranged in a lattice pattern and a heat insulating material arranged between the joists, and

wherein the small coils are integrally provided in at least any one of the heat insulating material and the joists.

9. The building according to claim 7,

wherein the size of the small coils varies for each of the regions.

11. The building according to claim 5,

wherein the building member is at least one of a wall material, skirting board, flooring material and ceiling material.

12. The building according to claim 8,

wherein the size of the small coils varies for each of the regions.

10. A construction method for a building, comprising steps of:

linking a plurality of building members to each other respectively provided with split wires into which a power supply coil is split at a plurality of locations along a wire rod of the power supply coil, so as to surround an indoor space; and

forming the power supply coil surrounding the indoor space by electrically connecting the respective split wires to each other.
