Detailed Description Referring to the drawings and initially to Figs. I and 2 thereof there is illustrated an insulating panel according to the invention which in this case is a roof panel 1. The roof panel I comprises a first sheet which in this case is a profiled external sheet 2 which may be of painted galvanized steel. The profile defines recesses. The profile in this case comprises a plurality of raised crowns 3 which in this case are of generally trapezoidal form and extend longitudinally along the length of the panel. The panel also comprises a second sheet which in this case is an inner metal liner sheet 4. There is insulating foam 5 between the inner and outer sheets 2, 4.

The panel has an integral heat collecting means for transfer of heat from one source to another. In this case the heat collecting means are provided in the crowns 3 of the external sheet which may be devoid of insulation 5. Conduits 8 in this case extend through the crowns 3 and a heat transfer medium such as water is circulated through the conduits 8. In this way solar heat illustrated diagrammatically as 9 is transferred and used, for example, to provide hot water for washing and the like. The heat transfer medium may be any suitable fluid such as water, refrigerant or anti-freeze solution. The conduits 8 run through the roof in the external envelope of the building and the medium absorbs solar energy. The warmed medium may be pumped back through the system into the building to provide heat to the building space.
Once the medium passes through the building and transfers its energy, it flows back to the roof conduit and the process is repeated in a closed loop.

Referring to Fig. 3 there is illustrated another panel 20 according to the invention. In this case the heat collecting means is in the form of conduits 21 through which a heat transfer medium is circulated. The conduits 21 are in this case located adjacent to the internal liner 4. The system may be used to extract heat 22 rising from the building, especially in environments where equipment and machines give off heat, causing the internal temperature to rise. This system can be used to help keep the building cool in summer and heat it up in winter. In the summertime, a coolant may be circulated. A
valving system may be provided to switch from heating to cooling cycles.
Extracted heat can be used as described above to heat a supply of hot water.

Referring to Fig. 4 there is illustrated another panel 17 according to the invention which is similar to the panels of Figs. I to 3 and like parts are assigned the same reference numerals. In this case there are inner conduits 21 through which a heat transfer medium is circulated (for example to extract heat from inside a building) and outer conduits 8 for collection of solar heat 9. Such a system may be used as part of a heating/cooling/ventilation system for a building.

Referring to Figs. 5, 5b, 6 and 7 there is illustrated another panel 29 according to the invention which is similar to the panel of Figs. 1 and 2 and like parts are assigned the same reference numerals. In this case the recess is defined by the crowns. Air is circulated through crowns 3 which are not filled with insulating foam and thereby define passageways 19. The circulating air is again heated by solar energy.
This hot air is captured and may be blown by small fans into the heating/ventilation ductwork of the building, again assisting in heating the building. The heated air may also or alternatively be circulated through a heat exchanger for transfer of solar heat to another heat collector. Another panel of this type is illustrated in Fig. 5(a) but with smaller crowns 3.

Air is circulated through the crowns 3 which are not filled with insulating foam. Such panels are usually manufactured by leading the profiled outer sheet 2 along a flat bed with the recesses defined by the crowns 3 facing upwards. The profiled sheet is let to a lay-down area at which liquid foam reactants are spread across the sheet using a lay-down poker or the like. As the foam rise the backing sheet is applied over the foam and the sandwich this formed is then led through an oven and subsequently cut to length. The manufacturing technology is described in our UK-A-2227712, UK-A-2257086, and UK-A-2325640.

In the panels of the invention foam is excluded from at least some of the recesses defined by the crowns 3. This may be achieved in a number of ways. For example, a seal or tape 25 may be laid across the recesses defined by the crowns 3 prior to foam lay-down. Alternatively a lost core may be inserted into the recesses defined by the crowns 3 and subsequently removed leaving the recesses substantially fee of foam.

We have found that the panel of Fig. 5 is particularly suitable for roofs, walls and for floors. The panel has a relatively large exposed surface area and a relatively high large internal void space whilst maintaining structural and insulation properties. The width L of the panel in this case is 1 metre. For optimum thermal efficiency there should be at least 3 and preferably at least 4 crowns 3. Referring especially to Fig.
5(b), each of the crowns 3 defines an area which is devoid of foam. The void area A is preferably at least 0.002m2, most preferably greater than 0.0025m2, and in this case about 0.003m2.

The faces of the crown 3 which are exposed to the external environment comprise an outer face x and two side faces y which diverge inwardly from the outer face x. The angle a between the faces x, y is preferably 115 to 125 , most preferably 118 to 123 and in this case about 121 .

The width of the exposed surface of each crown 3 is from 150mm to 200mm, most preferably 160mm to 180mm, and in this case about 170mm. the outer face x has a width Wx of from 50mm to 60mm, in this case about 55mm. Each side facing has a width Wy of from 50mm to 60mm, in this case about 57mm.

In the panel of Fig. 5 each of the foam-free crowns has a cross sectional area of 0.002906m2.

By way of comparison, in the panel of Fig. 5(a) the foam-free crowns each have a cross sectional area of 0.001603m2.

The energy production possible using panels with crowns of this type was calculated using RET screen International Clean Energy Project Analysis software available at www.retscreen.net. The following assumptions were made:

Building Location: North West England Building Size: l Om x l00m x l00m = 10,000m2 floor space South Facing Wall: 100m (W) x lOm (H) Fan Air Speed: 10m / sec Using the panels to construct the south facing wall of the building and circulating air through the foam-free passageways results in the following energy production:

Panel of Fig. 5(a) with two crowns: 125,569 kWh per year based on local weather data.
Panel of Fig. 5 with four crowns: 347,647 kWh per year based on local weather data.

Using a panel with enlarged foam-free crowns greatly enhances energy production.
The panels may be used to construct part of or all of the building envelope including the roof, walls and/or floor. One such building is illustrated in Figs. 8 to 10. Each of the walls and the roof of the building comprise a plurality of the panels such as the panels 29 of Fig. 5. Air circulating through the passageways defined by the crowns 3 is directed into ducting 30 as shown by the arrows. The flow of air may be controlled using one or more fans 31. The ducting may have a venting system 32 which may be motorized to facilitate ease of operation and control. The circulating air is heated by solar energy. This hot air is captured and may be passed into the heating/ventilation ductwork of the building, again assisting in heating the building. The heated air may also alternatively be circulated through a heat exchange for transfer of solar heat to another heat collector. The system may be set to take air from the warmest or coldest elevations depending on the internal and external temperatures. The system can be used for heating and/or cooling.

Referring especially to Figs. 9 and 10 suitable insulated cappings 35 may be provided.
The building may also have insulated flashings 36.

May variations on the embodiments described will be readily apparent.
Accordingly the invention is not limited to the embodiments hereinbefore described which may be varied in detail.
