Why SIPS?: This project was in the middle of a major wildfire and the original house was destroyed.

SIPs exceeded this condition and was able to provide a energy and sustainable product that exceeded all CalGreen requirements.
Benefits of SIPs: SIPs saved considerable construction cost, time and labor.
Innovative Design Elements: SIP spans on the roof enabled to have clean roof lines both interior and exterior.
Certifications: Bother Energy Start and National Green Building Standards where met to allow for Tax Credits both from the Federal Government and California State.
HVAC: HVAC was reduced by 65% using a heat pump type of system.
Solar: Solar panels were used with a 5.0 kw system
Client Comments:
"This residence was designed and engineered to take full advantages of SIP construction by using SIPs with Floors, Walls and Roof. The home exceeded all CalGreen requirements and met Zero Energy Ready compliance. Being in a burned out area and the home was totally demolished emphasis was rebuilding in a timely matter as the owner were paying out of pocket expenses for temporary living."
