This patent represents the method in which the condensation is avoided in a thermal insulated envelope. The maintaining of warm vapors in a warm zone of a vapor-impermeable insulation lids to the elimination of condensation phenomenon. This is realized by extending the properties of Vapor Impermeable Insulations (VII) to the entire surface of a wall or by creating a Non-Permissive Insulation Assembly (NP-IA). Through the fact that this configuration of insulations makes it possible the avoidance of condensation in any situation in which is applied a difference of temperatures, occurs the utility of enunciating a principle to avoid condensation as fundamental method for designing enclosures. Also, is justified the record of a reference temperature towards which can be defined the terms warm and cold in relation to an optimal temperature for development of human activity. 1. A method for avoiding condensation in insulated enclosures constructed and subjected to significant differences of temperature , characterized in that , in order to avoid condensation the heat flow must convert the heat deficit in an insulation material or insulation assembly without vapor diffusion or any airflow carrying warm vapor to cold areas of insulation.2.

A composite wall, ceiling or floor panel (), system and method, including a sheet () having a first face () including at least one first mounting portion (), and at least one formwork member () with at least one second mounting portion () arranged to engage with the first mounting portion of the sheet to retain the sheet and said at least one formwork member together. Structural support comes from piers (for a wall) or beams (ceiling or floor) formed in the spacing between adjacent formwork members. The formwork members act as the core of a wall, ceiling or floor panel. An external coating () is applied to the formwork members, such as spray shotcrete or render. Channels () formed by the formwork members defines integrated ducting for services to be run. 121-. (canceled)22. A composite wall , ceiling or floor panel including a sheet having a first face and a second face , the first face including at least one first mounting portion , the panel further including at least one formwork member having at least one second mounting portion arranged to engage with the first mounting portion of the sheet to retain the sheet and said at least one formwork member together.23. A composite panel according to claim 22 , wherein the sheet includes an insulation layer and a lining layer.24. A composite panel according to claim 23 , wherein the insulation layer also provides the first face of the sheet and the lining layer provides the second face of the sheet.25. A composite panel according to claim 22 , wherein the first and second mounting portions include respective projections and recesses arranged such that the projections are received into the recesses.26. A composite panel according to claim 25 , wherein the arrangement of projections and recesses provides a keyway arrangement whereby the projections and recesses have an inter-cooperating keyway projection and keyway channel locking one to the other.27. A composite panel according to claim 22 , wherein the formwork member ...

A universal barrier system includes universal barrier components that may be assembled together to shield floors and walls from moisture and provide a thermal break in an operational area of the universal barrier component. A lap zone of the universal barrier component may allow universal barrier components to be assembled and installed to protect floors, walls, ceilings, footings and the like from moisture and heat gain or loss by minimizing the need for tapes and other joining methods. The universal barrier system may also act as a sound deadening material. The operational area and lap zone of the universal barrier component may be disposed on a vapor block layer to provide some rigidity. The operational area of the universal barrier component may include a thermal break disposed upon the vapor block layer. The thermal break may include an outer protective layer. 1. A universal barrier system for forming a moisture shield and thermal break in a building comprising:a universal barrier tape made from polyethylene film, up to 12 inches wide to provide typically 6 inches of lap with an adhesive disposed thereon; a common base component of polyethylene film substantially 6 to 15 mills thick and substantially 54 inches wide and of a length that varies depending upon a desired roll size upon which the common base material is disposed:', 'a thermal break having a thickness substantially ranging from 5 mils to 50 mils, and substantially 48 inches wide and made from millable polyurethane foam containing voids created by microspheres disposed in an operational area substantially forty eight inches wide, beginning at an edge of the common base component and leaving a substantially uncovered area substantially 6 inches wide along an opposite edge as a lap zone for joining to other materials;', 'a protective outer layer of polyethylene film substantially 48 inches wide and disposed over the thermal break and has a thickness substantially ranging from 3 mils to 40 mils; and, 'a ...

A cost-effective and expeditious method for attaching a water channel layer to lath pre-installation, for subsequent application to an inner wall structure, increasing the efficiency and decreasing the cost of building construction, and also encompasses the stock material made thereby. In one form, there is a stapling frame equipped to be placed in juxtaposition to a water channel layer atop a layer of lath on and adjacent surface. A plurality of staplers mounted to the frame then combine the water channel layer and lath to form an integrated stock material that can then be used in a wall structure. 1. A method for attaching a water channel layer to a lath , comprising:placing the water channel layer atop the portion of lath such that a first side of each and an adjacent second side of each are flush, wherein the lath extends past the water channel layer for a predetermined distance at a third side and an adjacent fourth side;lowering a stapling mechanism vertically from an original vertical resting position to a top surface of the water channel layer;inserting one or more staples, each staple comprising a head and two ends, at one or more predetermined positions on the top surface of the water channel layer such that the head of each staple is on the top surface of the water channel layer and the ends of each staple are clinched so as to engage the lath; andraising the stapling mechanism vertically to its original vertical resting position.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the stapling mechanism is positioned to simultaneously apply one or more staples evenly spaced along a length of the water channel layer and lath at a predetermined distance inward from the first side of the water channel layer claim 1 , and to apply one or more staples evenly spaced along a width of the water channel layer and lath at the predetermined distance inward from the second side of the water channel layer.3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more staples are outwardly ...
