Abstract:
1. An insulated wall panel having an outside face, an inside face, and two opposite mating sides, each mating side being shaped to mate with the opposite mating side of another insulated wall panel for mating assembly in a wall section, the insulated wall panel comprising a structural member extending along one of the mating sides and being offset from the outside face, the structural member includes two structural columns both oriented transversally between the outside face and the inside face and arranged in an overlapping staggered configuration, and a thermal separator provided between the structural columns, and a self-supporting body of insulating material in which the structural column adjacent the outside face is nested, having an extension forming the thermal separator, and having an integral covering extension extending laterally at the outside face, the self-supporting body of insulating material, including the covering extension, spanning the entire outside face to form a continuous and flush facing thickness of insulating material covering the structural members when two or more adjacent wall panels are matingly adjoined into a wall section.
