This invention describes a building panel made from concrete. It features a concrete slab with a pattern of reinforcing ribs sticking out from one side. The original idea also included a foam insulating layer that the concrete was poured into, and anchor pins to hold it all together, but the main patent claims only describe the concrete panel with its ribs.
Why it matters: Building energy efficiency and modular construction methods have become even more critical since 2018, making integrated insulated panels highly relevant. However, the current claims do not fully protect the composite insulated structure.
