Building structures to code isn’t enough. The smart contractors and architects  design and construct buildings that go a step beyond the requirements of local building codes. These are truly sustainable buildings, built to a higher standard. What building method and materials are you using to reach for a higher energy efficiency?

If you’re ready to take the jump to the higher standards of construction,  [Premier Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS)](https://www.premiersips.com) are the perfect construction method to meet important design criteria for framing the building envelope. Walls, roofs and floor construction (both residential and commercial) framed with SIPS for a  [tight super-insulated shell](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/about-premier-sips/building-greener/), will help you achieve:

- Reduce heating & cooling loads (and costs!)
- Increase insulation
- Seal air leaks
- Eliminate thermal bridging
- Provide life cycle benefits
- Provide structure strength
- Provide consistently comfortable interior environment
- Offer a healthier indoor environment with exceptional air quality (IAQ)

Consisting of an insulating solid core, structurally laminated between two sheets of structural grade oriented strand board (OSB), SIPS are a proven engineered framing system which provides an extremely strong building panel that needs no additional frame or skeleton for support. Premier’s large, pre-fabricated SIPS make the framing process faster than other building methods and enable a more airtight, well insulated building for high energy efficiency, and a reduction in carbon consumption & emissions.  Premier SIPS can offer you a one-stop building envelope resource that delivers far more than a simple framed and insulated structure.

With engineered EPS (expanded polystyrene) or GPS (graphite polystyrene) insulation as the solid core insulating material of Premier SIPS you can rest assured you are getting a more effective and economical insulation material compared to some of the other materials on the market.  Premier’s versatile and energy-efficient SIPs products are some of the greenest available:

- Does not leach toxic chemicals or heavy metals
- Does not support old or mildew growth

#### [Common Questions About Designing & Building With Premier SIPS](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/faq)

While SIPS provide multiple efficiencies for building construction and operations, many builders stick to outdated site-framed building methods they are most familiar with.   [Read more for answers to common questions](https://sips.premierbuildingsystems.com/faq) design professionals,  builders, and building owners have about Premier SIPS. You have nothing to lose!  SIPS have been the go-to choice for creating building envelopes for over half a century. Their proven track record speaks for itself as structures built with SIPS continue to stand strong and durable to this day.
