This invention discloses to an interlocking insulated panel building system that has expanded polystyrene panels sandwiched between inner and outer oriented strand board (OSB) skins. Structural strength is enhanced and thermal shorts are reduced by use of channels formed from typically 22 gauge (0.03″) galvanized steel. The panels are interfitted by a tongue-and-groove system. The components of the system are wall panels, headers, sills, beams, and roof panels.

A modular construction component comprising: (a) an insulating core; and (b) a pair of metal channels attached to the core wherein the metal channels are attached and glued on opposing sides of the core, each channel having opposing channel flanges extending toward an opposing side of the core wherein a first flange of each of the metal channels covers a portion of an edge of the core, and a second flange of each of the channels is imbedded in the core, said flanges thereby providing structural strength for the component and avoiding a thermal short between the channels.
