A truss which is premanufactured and shipped to a job site for the construction of supper-insulated buildings walls has a two-by-four stud which is joined to a two-by-two stud positioned in spaced parallel relation to the first stud to form a twelve inch wide insulation cavity. The two-by-two stud is spaced from the two-by-four stud by spacers and is rigidly supported by diagonal cross braces. The braces and spacers are joined to the two-by-four stud by truss plates. A foundation, is especially designed to accommodate the wall truss members. The truss has a sill extension 81/2inches wide formed of two-by-twos. The extension extends downwardly from the truss structure to provide an insulation face across the front of a step in the foundation. The wall trusses may be manufactured with the same equipment as utilized in the construction of floor and rafter trusses formed of dimensional two-by-fours. The ability to shop-fabricate the wall trusses using truss plates means that engineered truss members for each job can be supplied which minimize utilized material while, at the same time, saving considerable labor over on-site construction.

A factory-fabricated structural truss for fabricating super-insulated walls of a building, comprising: a) a vertically disposed first stud selected from the group of dimensioned timbers consisting of 2×4\s and 2×6\s, the stud positioned to form a portion of an exterior wall of a building, wherein the first stud has lower portions which face outwardly; b) a second stud spaced outwardly from and parallel to the first stud, wherein the second stud has a thickness substantially the same as the first stud and a width in the outward direction substantially less than the width in the outward direction of the first stud; c) a plurality of wood spacers which extend horizontally between the first stud and the second stud; d) at least one diagonal wood member extending on a diagonal between the first stud and the second stud to stiffen the truss; e) an extension wood member that is positioned adjacent to outwardly facing lower portions and which extends below the first stud, wherein the second stud extends downwardly in spaced parallel relation to the extension member to form a portion of the truss which extends downwardly below the first stud, wherein the extension member is spaced a first distance from the second stud, and the first stud is spaced a distance from the second stud which is greater than said first distance; and f) a plurality of pairs of metal truss plates joining the spacers, wherein the spacers and said at least one diagonal member are connected to the first stud and the second stud by said truss plates, and the extension member is connected to said first stud by said truss plates.
