ABSTRACT:
A modular building system which utilizes as a basic building block thereof an elongated hollow structural frame member preferably formed of fiberglass. The structural frame member comprises a substantially flat elongation having longitudinal slots formed at both ends thereof which slideably engage with support means in the form of other modular building blocks. The frame member further has a pair of horizontal members formed integrally therewith which extend transversely near the upper and lower ends thereof. The horizontal members are attachable to adjacent frame members for structural support. The frame member further has a U-shaped cross-section extending longitudinally over which is formed a metallic channel, also U-shaped so as to define a conduit through which electrical wiring may be pre-routed, the metal piece further serving as a surface to which interior or exterior wall panels may be attached by means of sheet metal screws or the like.
The invention is further directed toward other modular building blocks which cooperate with the basic structural frame member, such as joist brackets, foundation pedestals, roof panels, floor panels, as well as accessory mounting and interconnection hardware. Also disclosed are preferred embodiment heating means which include a solar panel hot water heater, a warm air solar panel, a solar absorption wall panel, and a wind-powered friction heater for water.
