The panel may comprise a longitudinal wall, a sidewall extending from the longitudinal wall, a ridge intersecting the sidewall, a cavity disposed in the panel and at least partially defined by the sidewall and the longitudinal wall, and a division wall disposed in the cavity and extending from the longitudinal wall, wherein the division wall divides the cavity into a first plenum and a second plenum. The longitudinal wall, the sidewall, the ridge, and the division wall may comprise a single, monolithic piece.
