         2 . A module ( 23 ) according to  claim 1  wherein the fore plate ( 1 ) and insulation material ( 4 ) comprise open profile channels ( 14 ,  16 ) for receiving the said piping ( 3 ). 
     
     
         3 . A module ( 23 ) according to  claim 1  wherein the fore plate ( 9 ) comprises closed profile through channels ( 17 ) for receiving the said piping ( 3 ). 
     
     
         4 . A module ( 23 ) according to  claim 1  further comprising at least one of an intermediate insulation material ( 12 ) and an external insulation material ( 7 ). 
     
     
         5 . A module ( 23 ) according to  claim 1  further comprising a plaster layer ( 8 ) in outermost section of the module ( 23 ). 
     
     
         6 . A module ( 23 ) according to  claim 1  wherein the main constructional element ( 5 ,  10 ,  11 ,  13 ) is in the form of a monoblock supporting element or bricks. 
     
     
         7 . A module ( 23 ) according to  claim 1  further comprising a radiation panel ( 2 ) having open profile pipe channels ( 15 ) which panel is placed between the fore plate ( 1 ,  9 ) and pipes ( 3 ). 
     
     
         8 . A module ( 23 ) according to  claim 7  wherein the radiation panel ( 2 ) is in the form of an aluminum foil. 
     
     
         9 . A module ( 23 ) according to  claim 1  further comprising a void layer ( 19 ) formed by a number of profiles ( 18 ) between the piping ( 3 ) and main constructional element ( 5 ,  10 ,  11 ,  13 ). 
     
     
         10 . A module ( 23 ) according to  claim 1  further comprising a montage profile ( 20 ) adapted to engage two collateral modules ( 23 ) from upper- and lowermost horizontal ends thereof. 
     
     
         11 . A module ( 23 ) according to  claim 1  or  4  wherein at least one of the layers of main constructional element ( 5 ,  10 ,  11 ,  13 ) and insulation material ( 4 ,  6 ,  7 ,  12 ) is axially shifted relative to the rest of the layers in horizontal direction (x) such that a recess ( 41 ) and protrusion ( 42 ) in vertical ends of said module ( 23 ) extending along the vertical direction (y) for snap fitting of one module ( 23 ) to another are formed. 
     
     
         12 . A module ( 23 ) according to  claim 1  wherein the pipes ( 3 ) are made of plastic. 
     
     
         13 . A modular hybrid wall assembly comprising a module ( 23 ) according to any of the preceding claims. 
     
     
         14 . A modular hybrid wall assembly according to  claim 13  wherein the assembly comprises a snap fitting region (A) having perpendicular and horizontal contact surfaces ( 31 ,  32 ) between two modules ( 23 ), said perpendicular contact surface(s) ( 31 ) is arranged not to be linear along the cross-section of the module ( 23 ) for reinforcement of the assembly.
