Before specifically describing the embodiment of the present invention, an outline of the present embodiment will be described. Example 1 relates to a functional wall including at least one of various functions such as a solar battery, a storage battery, a lighting device, a blower, and a speaker. It is desired that the functions included in the functional wall be selected as necessary.
