Why SIPs: It is a timber frame home. A large portion of the structure is open construction with no attic. SIPS were incorporated into the design and were mandated by the owner.
Benefit of SIPs: Use of SIPS expedited the building process in an environment of short construction windows and challenging weather constraint
Blower Door Test: Leakage rate in Air Changes per hour = 1.4. The blower door test was performed prior to the installation of sheet rock.
HVAC: Water to water geothermal closed loop ground source heat pump which was coefficient with a performance of 5.7. The system heats/cools the house, swimming pool and domestic hot water. Radiant flooring is the primary source of heat. A hear recovery ventilation (HRV) system is employed with a heat recovery efficiency of 87%.
