The present invention is directed to an insulated building construction which includes panels having interior and exterior skins with an insulating core therebetween. Additionally, the bearing posts between panels have interior and exterior support members with an insulating layer therebetween. A mechanism for maintaining a thermal barrier around corners as well as between walls and roof is disclosed. All panels have standardized passageways which mate with one another to provide an efficient way of routing electrical wiring. A building in accordance with this invention may be constructed to be completely surrounded by appropriate insulating material thereby minimizing “thermal shorts”.
