Abstract
A prefabricated wall panel unit capable of being matingly joined with like units in edge-abutting relationship. The unit includes interior and exterior wall panels joined by hermaphroditic coupling elements. The coupling elements each have a channel-defining portion and a wing-defining portion with the portions being offset from each other and positioned so that a wing of one panel unit is received in a channel of an adjacent unit. Deformable strips of low thermal conductivity material are mounted in the channels for embeddingly receiving the wing elements to couple adjacent units together to form a wall.
