Abstract
A building has a ventilating space between its inner and outer exterior walls which is capable of effectively saving energy. The building's body has an inner exterior wall on which an outer wall is supported by means of supporting members to form a ventilating space therebetween. The space may also be used for accommodating piping and wiring for connecting main equipment installed on the rooftop of the building with respective terminal devices installed in separate rooms of the building. An air inlet is formed in the lower portion of the new exterior wall, e.g., in the head casing for a second story window, and an air outlet is formed between the inner coping and the outer coping. The outside air enters through the air inlet into the space between the outer and inner walls and flows out therefrom through the air outlet. In summer, such ventilation prevents heat from getting into the rooms of the building via the walls. In winter, the air inlet is closed so as not to allow the flow of air into the space between the walls.
