Premier SIPS received awards from many notable industry organizations, maintaining our status as *the most* awarded SIPs brand. Celebrate with us as we review our team's winnings below! # Premier SIPs Awards Received in 2022    ## Offsite Construction Annual Awards Premier SIPS was recognized for outstanding achievement by the [Offsite Construction Network ](https://www.offsiteconstructionexpo.com/)and received awards in two categories. Awards were received during the Offsite Construction Expo in 2022. For both projects, Premier SIPS provided the insulated panels needed during construction.  - **[The Best Panelized Project Under 5,000 sq. ft.](https://offsiteconstructionnetwork.com/2022/09/20/2022-offsite-construction-awards-premier-building-systems-under-5000/) **This hilltop modern craftsman-style cottage was designed to maximize natural light and create a sense of spaciousness in a tiny energy-efficient footprint. SIP construction supported the owners’ desire for a small space with an open floor plan that remained energy efficient. The complete SIP envelope boasted 12-inch floor, 6-inch wall, and 10-inch roof SIPs.

The open floorplan, manufactured according to shop drawings with hardly any 90-degree angles, was made possible with SIPs. The finished home exceeded California’s Title 24 and Cal Green requirements. [View the full project profile here.](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/project-portfolio/losgatos-ca) Projects were judged by an independent panel of industry experts, who represent the progress and potential of offsite construction around the world.

Thoughtfully designed, this residential project sought every opportunity to create a low-air-leakage home without sacrificing comfort. Premier SIPS provided precision sealing and a high-performing building envelope with 6.5-inch SIP walls and 10.25-inch SIP roofing. Constructed during the winter season in the Pacific Northwest, panels were delivered ready-to-install and the installation team enclosed the house even while snow flurries fell, saving the project on build time, labor, and construction costs.

Each award category reflected the unique nature of a building technique represented by the Building Systems Councils. The [annual BSC Jerry Rouleau Awards for Excellence](https://www.nahb.org/nahb-community/awards/offsite-construction-awards/bsc-jerry-rouleau-awards-for-excellence-in-home-design) in home building were presented to the following two Premier SIPS projects: - **[Panelized Home Winner (2,001 - 3,000 sq. ft.): ](https://www.nahb.org/nahb-community/awards/offsite-construction-awards/bsc-jerry-rouleau-awards-for-excellence-in-home-design/2022-2/premier-building-systems-18th-street-passive-house)**This award was given for a Premier SIPS residential project completed in Vancouver, British Columbia. With its soaring ceilings, massive windows, and natural light, this modern home is easy on the eyes and the energy bills. The narrow lot required a clever, space-efficient design that had additional “fire spread” protection and ensured the necessary engineering needed for a “Peat Bog” environment. The panelized Premier SIPS building system was managed through our Canadian Distributor, [West Eco SIPS](https://westecopanels.com/), and was prefabricated in a factory for fast job site installation. The lightweight, prefabricated panels were fully installed on the pre-set columns in just one day. [View the details for this true North American marvel in sustainable here.](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/project-portfolio/18th-passive-bc-canada) Professionals throughout North America took notice of this particular project, as it won a multitude of awards, including:  - Canadian Home Builders’ Association: 2022 Best Detached Custom Home  - HAVAN (Home Builders Association of Vancouver) Awards Canada for Housing Excellence: Best Custom Home, Best High-Performance Home, Excellence in Building Science Innovation  - Green Initiative Georgie Awards: Best Custom Home, Best Environmental Initiative  - SIPA - BEA: Residential High Performance under 3K S/F Winner - **[The Multifamily Project Winner:](https://www.nahb.org/nahb-community/awards/offsite-construction-awards/bsc-jerry-rouleau-awards-for-excellence-in-home-design/2022-2/premier-building-systems-salish-way) **This award was given for a series of Premier SIPS homes for residents in Lopez Island, Washington. With the rising cost of living expenses, the Lopez Community Land Trust (LCLT) focuses on building affordable homes for local working residents to occupy. This was the first year in their 32-year history that the Trust chose to incorporate SIPs. Because of this, local homeowners and carpenters were able to apply their skills installing the panels. Homes constructed are net-zero energy in order to reduce overall operating costs and incorporate high-quality materials that are long-lasting and sustainable, along with low-maintenance features.  [View the award overview and project details here.](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/project-portfolio/lopez-land-trust-wa)   ## SIPA Annual Building Excellence Awards Showcasing SIPs projects throughout North America, the Building Excellence Awards (BEA) highlight winners that embody high design, performance, and energy savings to make a positive impact on reducing carbon emissions and consumption in the built environment.  Premier SIPS and former sister company – now part of Premier SIPS, Big Sky R-Control SIPs, took home 14 of the 26 awards, including:  - Best In Show Overall: [American Indian Hall, Bozeman, MT - View Profile](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/project-portfolio/aih-uofm) - Commercial Over 10K S/F Winner: [American Indian Hall, Bozeman, MT ](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/project-portfolio/aih-uofm)[- View Profile](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/project-portfolio/aih-uofm)  - Classic Multifamily Winner:  Patterson Apartments, Grand Junction, CO -[ View Profile](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/project-portfolio/patterson-apartments-co) - Residential Over 3K S/F Classic Winner: [Los Gatos, CA ](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/project-portfolio/losgatos-ca)-[ View Profile](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/project-portfolio/losgatos-ca) - High-Performance Multifamily Winner: [Cooper's Hawk II, Senora, CA](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/blog/coopers-hawk-sips-solar) - [View Profile](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/blog/coopers-hawk-sips-solar) - Best Overall High-Performance Winner: : [Cooper's Hawk II, Senora, CA](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/blog/coopers-hawk-sips-solar) - [View Profile](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/blog/coopers-hawk-sips-solar)  - Residential Under 3K S/F High-Performance Winner: [East 18th Passive, Vancouver, BC  ](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/project-portfolio/18th-passive-bc-canada)[View Profile](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/project-portfolio/18th-passive-bc-canada) - Residential Under 900 S/F Winner: Winter Cabin Hideaway, WA - [View Profile](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/project-portfolio/losgatos-ca) - Zero Energy Winner: Lopez Island Land Trust Community, WA - [View Profile](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/project-portfolio/lopez-land-trust-wa) - Zero Energy Runner-Up: [Habitat for Humanity Basalt Vista, Basalt, CO](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/project-portfolio/habitat-for-humanity-co) - [View Profile](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/project-portfolio/habitat-for-humanity-co) - Residential Under 900 S/F Runner Up: Cheney Creek Milner, CO - [**View Profile**](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/project-portfolio/cheney-creek-micro-homes) - Homes Over 3K S/F Classic Runner Up: Private Residence Gig Harbor, WA - [View Profile](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/project-portfolio/gigharbor-custom-wa) - Residential Over 3K S/F High-Performance Runner Up: [Positive Energy Home in Bellevue, WA ](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/project-portfolio/bellevue-positive-energy-wa)-[ View Profile](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/project-portfolio/bellevue-positive-energy-wa) - Residential Under 3K S/F High-Performance Runner Up: [Positive Energy House in a Hollow, Bellingham, WA ](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/project-portfolio/bellingham-doe-wa)- [View Profile](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/project-portfolio/bellingham-doe-wa) - Renovations Runner Up: Woodworking Shop Winthrop, WA  [View the full gallery of these Building Excellence SIPA Award winners here.](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/blog/premier-sips-projects-take-top-honors-2022-national-building-excellence-award-winners)   ## In Summary These awards demonstrate the consistent performance of Premier SIPS, truly faster, stronger, and greener than traditional construction methods.
