1. A building panel system adapted for mounting to a building wall, said building panel system comprising:
a plurality of vertical members that are spaced apart from each other in a left-right direction, and that extend in a top-bottom direction perpendicular to the left-right direction;
a plurality of horizontal members that are spaced apart from each other in the top-bottom direction, that are mounted to said vertical members, and that extend in the left-right direction, each of said horizontal members includes
a rear base plate that abuts against said vertical members, and
a top protrusion that protrudes from a top end of said rear base plate in a front-rear direction perpendicular to the left-right and top-bottom directions and that is spaced apart from and disposed forwardly of said vertical members, said top protrusion and said rear base plate cooperatively defining a positioning recess therebetween;
a bottom plate that extends forwardly from a bottom end of said rear base plate, and
a front blocking plate that extends upwardly from an end of said bottom plate opposite to said rear base plate; and
a plurality of panel modules, each of said panel modules including a building panel, and at least one hanging member that is connected to said building panel and that is hung on a corresponding one of said vertical members and said horizontal members, and for each of said panel modules, said at least one hanging member is hung on a corresponding one of said horizontal members and includes
a front base plate that is connected to said building panel,
a top plate that extends rearwardly from a top end of said front base plate, and
an insertion plate that extends downwardly from an end of said top plate opposite to said front base plate and that is engaged with said positioning recess of the one of said horizontal members;
wherein said building panels of said panel modules cooperatively form a panel wall configured to be spaced apart from the building wall so that an air flow channel is formed between said panel wall and the building wall and is configured to communicate with an external space for air flowing.
