Project Overview
Mountain Retreat Breckenridge
End Use: Custom Home with in-law suite fully loaded
Why SIPs: The owner of this project was very interested in using SIPs for this project for the thermal efficiency and speed of construction. Feedback from the owner, as the project was being constructed, was that he was excited to be using SIPs for this build. His passion for the material was infectious and he never missed an opportunity to share what he was doing with everyone.
SIPs Used: 6" EPS Walls & 12" EPS Roof
Benefit of Using SIPs: SIP construction rolled the framing, insulation, and sheathing into a one-step installation phase, so the owner was pleased with how the system went up and was very excited about the speed of installation.
Innovative Design Elements:
- SIP roof panels were used to accomplish large shed roof planes that were in the design
- Many tall wall plate heights were accomplished by framing the SIP walls at full height.
Blower Door Test Results: 1.45 ACH50
HVAC: None - this is a home located in a ski resort where hot summers are not an issue
