Building construction method

This invention describes a way to build walls using standard studs, but with small spacers (standoffs) attached to their inside faces, and then a panel. It also details how to connect roof beams (trusses) to these walls using a top plate that is narrower than the studs, and special connecting blocks called saddles, which can be stacked. The claims focus on these specific structural arrangements rather than the insulating foam mentioned in the abstract.

Why it matters: Stricter energy efficiency building codes since 2018 increase the value of integrated insulation methods. Advances in automated fabrication and modular construction techniques could now make the specific custom components, like standoffs and saddles, more cost-effective to produce.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateCustom standoffs, saddles, and framing assembly
