An exterior wall panel comprising: a wall framework comprising a plurality of horizontal stud members and a plurality of vertical stud members defining together an inner wall surface and an outer wall surface , spaced-apart from the inner wall surface, the wall framework having a first pair of spaced-apart peripheral edges and a second pair of spaced-apart peripheral edges extending between the first pair of spaced-apart peripheral edges ; a vapor barrier membrane superposed to the inner wall surface ; a weather barrier membrane superposed to the outer wall surface ; characterized in that the vapor barrier membrane covers at least partially at least one of the first pair of spaced-apart peripheral edges and the second pair of spaced-apart peripheral edges and is secured thereto; in that the weather barrier membrane covers at least partially at least one of the first pair of spaced-apart peripheral edges and the second pair of spaced-apart peripheral edges and is secured thereto, so that each peripheral edge is at least partially covered by the vapor barrier membrane or by the weather barrier membrane or by both; and in that the exterior wall panel further comprises a bonding joint applied to at least one of the vapor barrier membrane and the weather barrier membrane and extending along at least one of the first pair of spaced-apart peripheral edges and the second pair of spaced-apart peripheral edges , the bonding joint contacting at least one of the vapor barrier membrane and the weather barrier membrane of another exterior wall panel when configured in an adjacent and abutting configuration. a wall framework comprising a plurality of horizontal stud members and a plurality of vertical stud members defining together an inner wall surface and an outer wall surface , spaced-apart from the inner wall surface, the wall framework having a first pair of spaced-apart peripheral edges and a second pair of spaced-apart peripheral edges extending between the first pair of spaced-apart peripheral edges ; a vapor barrier membrane superposed to the inner wall surface ; a weather barrier membrane superposed to the outer wall surface ; characterized in that the vapor barrier membrane covers at least partially at least one of the first pair of spaced-apart peripheral edges and the second pair of spaced-apart peripheral edges and is secured thereto; in that the weather barrier membrane covers at least partially at least one of the first pair of spaced-apart peripheral edges and the second pair of spaced-apart peripheral edges and is secured thereto, so that each peripheral edge is at least partially covered by the vapor barrier membrane or by the weather barrier membrane or by both; and in that the exterior wall panel further comprises a bonding joint applied to at least one of the vapor barrier membrane and the weather barrier membrane and extending along at least one of the first pair of spaced-apart peripheral edges and the second pair of spaced-apart peripheral edges , the bonding joint contacting at least one of the vapor barrier membrane and the weather barrier membrane of another exterior wall panel when configured in an adjacent and abutting configuration. <EOS>
