SIPS vs ZIP: How Airtightness Drives Energy, Comfort, and Durability in Buildings
Comparing two key assemblies designed to combat airtightness. Learn how integrated envelope design improves energy..
When 13,000 homeowners responded with their top new construction features, we were thrilled that Energy Efficiency is in their top 10. SIPs are turn key energy efficient structures that allow new construction builders to build homes that are superior to other new homes in the area. A structural insulated panel home offers homeowners these features (which will likely help a builder sell their homes faster):
- Drastically reduce heating and cooling costs (by up to 60%!).
- Create healthier indoor environments from a building with 15x less outside air infiltration.
- Smaller HVAC systems from a more efficient envelope.
- More stable temperature control throughout a home.
If you’re a new construction builder, ready to build more efficient homes for your customers – you need to look at SIPs. Our offsite panelized construction also helps address labor shortage problems making SIPs something new homebuilders really need to be sure to explore. Contact us today to learn more.
