Explanation:
I know this from having translated the term myself in previous jobs.

Cavity Wall - A wall system constructed of two separate skins of single thickness material separated by a continuous cavity (usually 50 mm). This allows penetrations for services and a space for various forms of insulation . E.g.. Cavity brickwork ,a wall constructed of two separate skins of single brickwork laid parallel (usually 50mm apart) forming a cavity between and tied together by metal wall ties.
