Project Overview
The Tennis Townhomes project involved the remodeling of a 14-building complex. The homeowners association voted to replace the roofs, which originally provided an average R-19 insulation value. Premier SIPs and Premier Nailbase were chosen for this re-roofing project to increase the R-value to R-38. This upgrade aimed to improve energy efficiency and speed up the construction process. The quick installation of Premier SIPs and Premier Nailbase significantly reduced the construction schedule from the projected 10 weeks to just 5 weeks, resulting in substantial time and cost savings.
Design and Sustainability
The Tennis Townhomes project not only aimed to enhance the buildings' energy efficiency but also to adopt environmentally friendly building practices. Premier SIPs and Premier Nailbase were selected for their superior insulation properties and sustainable attributes. The skins of Premier SIPs and Premier Nailbase are made from renewable wood resources, and the rigid insulation core is termite resistant and free of CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs, and formaldehyde.
Premier SIPs Benefits
- Cost Savings: Premier SIPs are 55% more energy efficient, reducing overall energy costs.
- Speedy Construction: Premier SIPs reduced the construction schedule by 3 to 4 weeks, allowing for faster project completion.
- Reduced HVAC Requirements: SIPs cut HVAC needs by approximately half, resulting in lower energy bills.
- Reduced Waste: The use of SIPs decreased construction material waste, reducing disposal fees and minimizing environmental impact.
Key Features
The use of Premier SIPs and Premier Nailbase provided the Tennis Townhomes with an improved roofing system that is both energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. The project highlights the benefits of using advanced building materials to achieve significant cost savings, reduced construction time, and enhanced sustainability. The upgraded insulation not only improves the comfort and health of residents but also contributes to long-term operational savings.
