Each vented panel may include a semi-hollow body portion defining one or more passageways therein. The one or more vented panels may be configured to fluidly communicate with one another at least by way of the one or more passageways defined therein, so as to provide continuous flow pattern of air throughout the wall and/or roof structure. The vented panels may be configured to provide a free flow of ventilation air between adjacent walls structures and/or the roof structure, thereby providing adequate ventilation of a building.
Description
- This application is a continuation of International Patent Application No. PCT/US2013/36361, filed Apr. 12, 2013, designating the U.S. and claiming the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/623,269, filed Apr. 12, 2012, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present disclosure relates generally to panels for use in construction of a structure, and, more particularly, to a vented panel for use in building walls and/or roof of a structure.
- Adequate ventilation of a structure, such as a home, may help prevent damage to the home. In particular, one know problem associated with inadequate ventilation and/or insulation is the excessive cost and potential harm associated with structural damage caused by excessive ice buildup, which may occur particularly in colder climates. Ice buildup may be caused by improper ventilation, particularly in the roof structure of a home or building. For example, beam-plank roof structures have been found to provide little or no adequate degree of ventilation and this problem being most attendant in roof structures exhibiting a significant degree of pitch or peak, such as cathedral ceilings. Additionally, substantially flat roof structures provide very little degree of ventilation, which may result in the build-up of ice, and potentially damage caused by the excessive weight placed upon the roof structure by the ice build-up. Additionally, ice dams may form, which, upon backing up under the shingles of a roof structure, may cause interior ceiling damage. Additionally, ice particles, including icicles, may form on the roof, which may potentially damage windows, siding and/or landscape.
- In warmer conditions, such as the summertime, inadequate and/or improper ventilation may result in additional problems. For example, radiant heat upon the roof structure may penetrate through the roof and result in a heating effect to the home. In turn, active cooling of the home may be required which may result in extensive cooling (air conditioning) expenses. Additionally, undue wear associated with the roofing materials may result.
- Features and advantages of the claimed subject matter will be apparent from the following detailed description of embodiments consistent therewith, which description should be considered with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective exploded view of a vented panel assembly consistent with the present disclosure; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the vented panel assembly ofFIG. 1 in an assembled state; -
FIG. 3 is a side cross-sectional view of a portion of the assembled vened panel assembly ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 4 is a top view of the assembled vented panel assembly ofFIG. 1 illustrating air flow through the vented panel assembly; and -
FIG. 5 is a perspective view, partly in section, of a wall structure formed by at least two vented panel assemblies consistent with the present disclosure illustrating air flow through the vented panel assemblies. - The present disclosure is generally directed to a wall system including one or more vented panel assemblies configured to be coupled to one another to form one or more wall structures and/or a roof structure of a building. The one or more wall structures may provide interior and/or exterior walls of the building and may be configured to provide structural support for the building. Each vented panel assembly may include a semi-hollow body portion defining one or more passageways therein. When one or more vented panel assemblies are coupled to one another to form a wall and/or roof structure, the one or more vented panel assemblies may be configured to fluidly communicate with one another at least by way of the one or more passageways defined therein, so as to provide continuous flow pattern of air throughout the wall and/or roof structure.
- The vented panel assemblies may be configured to provide a free flow of ventilation air between adjacent walls structures and/or the roof structure, thereby providing adequate ventilation of a building. The vented panel assemblies may be configured to allow free flow of ventilation from various directions, while still providing structural support to the building. The free and continuous flow pattern of ventilation air may offset both thermal gain and/or thermal loss conditions occurring along the roof and/or exterior walls of the building. The vented panel assemblies may be configured to allow at least the roof structure to remain relatively cool in both cold and warm conditions, thereby resulting in a decrease in ice formation in colder conditions and decrease in penetration of radiant heat from the roof structure into the home in warmer conditions.
