Explanation:
Der Ernst (Wörterbuch der industriellen Technik) hat keinen Vorschlag für Verkofferung, wohl aber für Verschalung, was es ja vielleicht in diesem Kontext trifft?

facing or lining

Explanation:
This was asked before, the previous information may be helpful, see answer provided by a colleague at:
http://www.proz.com/?sp=h&id=264791&keyword=Verkofferung
"If you have a different context, e.g. Verkofferung von Stahlstützen, this could also mean to apply a "facing" or "lining" (See: http://www.schwanenschloesschen.de/trockenbau/trockenbau.htm - Verkofferung mit Gipskarton)"

enclosure / concealment

Explanation:
Trocken bau, is a dry wall. The text implies that a void is to be left behind it in which household appliances can be located (possibly visibly) but probably concealed in the future.

A dry wall is made from plaster board and is afixed to a wooden framework, often used to divide up a larger space into individual rooms, the space between the walls is often used to hide wiring, pipework e.t.c. In this case it is planned for \'Haus Technic\' so anything from sensors, to transformers, house alarm compenets, right through to stereo sytems, or possibly even computers, videos, etc
