Abstract:
1. A building module, comprising: an inner construction panel defining a planar surface thereon; a plurality of rigid, spaced-apart brackets each affixed by one or more fasteners to the planar surface of the inner construction panel, wherein each of the plurality of brackets is contiguous to the inner construction panel, wherein each of the plurality of brackets includes a platform bearing a planar surface facing substantially away from the planar surface of the inner construction panel, wherein the plurality of brackets each include two or more legs extending away from the planar surface of the platform, wherein the surface area of the planar surface of each of the plurality of brackets is substantially smaller than the surface area of the planar surface of the inner construction panel to which the plurality of brackets is affixed, wherein the planar surface of each of the plurality of brackets is substantially parallel to the planar surface of the inner construction panel, wherein the platform defines an underside opposite the planar surface of the platform, wherein the underside of the platform is spaced-apart from the planar surface of the inner construction panel; a rigid, closed-cell, spray thermoset foam contiguous to and substantially covering the planar surface of the inner construction panel and filling and surrounding or embedding at least a major portion each of the plurality of brackets; and an outer surface panel affixed to the plurality of brackets, wherein the outer surface panel is contiguous to the platform of each of the plurality of brackets, wherein the foam and the underside of the platform of each of the plurality of brackets define a ventilation air gap therebetween, wherein the foam and the outer surface panel define a ventilation air gap therebetween, and wherein the two or more legs are affixed to the planar surface of the inner construction panel by one or more mechanical fasteners.
