Abstract:
1. An insulating panel, comprising: a first surface and an opposing second surface; a first edge and an opposing second edge substantially parallel to a first direction; a first side-surface and an opposing second side-surface substantially parallel to a second direction, the second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction; a panel core surrounded by the first side-surface, the first edge, the second side-surface and the second edge, the panel core having a panel thickness defined by the first surface and the second surface; a first chase made through the panel core between the first surface and the second surface, from the first edge to the second edge, the first chase dimensioned for electrical wire insertion, the chase substantially parallel to the second direction; one or more slots made into the first surface through part of the panel thickness, from the first side-surface to the second side-surface, each of said one or more slots substantially parallel to the first direction; a second chase made through the panel core between the first surface and the second surface, from the first side-surface to the second side-surface, the second chase dimensioned for different electrical wire insertion, the second chase substantially parallel to the first direction; a third chase made through the panel core between the first surface and the second surface, from the first edge to the second edge, the chase dimensioned for electrical wire insertion, the third chase substantially parallel to the second direction, the third chase spaced from the first chase; a first pocket made through the first surface, the first pocket dimensioned for installation of an electrical box for electrically connecting one or more electrical wires in the first chase to one or more electrical-wires in the second chase; and a second pocket made through the first surface, the second pocket dimensioned for installation of another electrical box for electrically connecting one or more electrical wires in the third chase to said one or more electrical wires in the second chase.
