Abstract

A prefabricated structural panel is for a structural construction system. The panel defines a panel plane with a peripheral edge for connections, and includes a load-bearing frame made of concrete, steel or wood substantially coplanar with the panel plane. The load-bearing frame defines a through opening transverse to the panel plane. The panel includes a blind or glass filling layer in the load-bearing frame to close the through opening. The panel is completed in an assembly line with layers of different materials assembled on both sides of the load-bearing frame and the filling layer, on an inner side of the filling element. A covering layer fixed to metal profiles defines a gap for air circulation. Layers of isolating materials create thermal and acoustic insulation on an outer side of the load-bearing frame and filling element.
