Abstract: A high performance wall assembly receives an exterior covering of a building. The high performance wall assembly includes a frame assembly having a top member, a bottom member opposite the top member, and a plurality of vertical members. The vertical members are coupled to and extend between the top and bottom members. The high performance wall assembly also includes a rigid foam insulating panel coupled to the frame assembly. A structural foam layer is disposed on the plurality of vertical members and on the rigid foam insulating panel. The structural foam layer couples the rigid foam insulating panel to the frame assembly and couples the plurality of vertical members to the top and bottom members such that the high performance wall is free of fasteners.

Abstract: A wall assembly is manufactured for supporting an exterior coving of a structure. The wall assembly includes a frame assembly including a top member, a bottom member, and a plurality of vertical members extending between the top and bottom members. The vertical members are recessed from an exterior surface of the top and bottom members. A sheathing layer is coupled to the top and bottom members and is spaced from the plurality of vertical members thereby defining a gap. At least one spacer is coupled to at least one of the plurality of vertical members with the at least one spacer including an outer periphery. An insulating layer is disposed with the gap between the sheathing layer and the plurality of vertical members and encapsulates the outer periphery of the spacer.

Abstract: A wall assembly is manufactured for supporting an exterior covering of a structure. The wall assembly includes a frame assembly including a top member and a bottom member spaced from the top member. The frame assembly further includes a plurality of vertical members spaced from each other and coupled to and extending between the top and bottom members. The plurality of vertical members each have an exterior surface configured to face an exterior of the structure. A rigid foam layer is directly coupled to the exterior surface of the plurality of vertical members. A sheathing layer is coupled to the rigid foam layer opposite the plurality of vertical members with the sheathing layer configured to receive the exterior covering.

Abstract: A prefabricated wall assembly receives an exterior covering of a building. The prefabricated wall assembly includes a frame assembly and an insulating foam layer. The frame assembly includes a top member, a bottom member opposite the top member, and a plurality of vertical members coupled to and extending between the top and bottom members. The frame assembly also has an interior side and an exterior side opposite the interior side. The insulating foam layer is disposed between the plurality of vertical members of the frame assembly and also extends from the exterior side of the frame assembly terminating in a plurality of integral ribs. An exterior surface of the insulating foam layer is presented between the plurality of ribs. The ribs space the exterior covering from the exterior surface of the insulating foam layer for allowing airflow and drainage between the prefabricated wall assembly and the exterior covering.
