Described is a wall structure used, for example, in the form of an instrument panel in a motor vehicle interior. The wall structure is embodied in the form of a laminated material consisting of a top layer, a hollow layer and a lower layer. The top layer is oriented towards the interior of the motor vehicle, and the hollow layer is arranged near a ventilation system of the motor vehicle so that a heat energy is removed from the top layer or is supplied thereto using an airflow. Described is also a method for producing the wall structure which allows to air-conditioning the interior of the motor vehicle or control the temperature of the surface layers inside thereof with low energy consumption and in a quick manner.
