Superior Home Construction Starts with SIPS

Environmentally Conscious Residential Construction

Builders know the key to an energy-efficient home is to build a tight, well insulated envelope. And builders and design professionals have to accomplish this despite differences in floor plans, sites, climates and labor restrictions/shortages. SIPs can be used to build any style of home, in most climates, and with less experienced laborers. Builders use SIPs to achieve positive environmental impacts over traditional building methods.

Reduced Heating/Cooling Costs: SIPs can cut heating and cooling costs up to 50 percent, and can reduce expenses by using smaller heating and cooling units.

Healthier Home Environments: Large panels with far fewer joints than stick framed construction mean fewer pollutants are able to enter through the walls.

Better Indoor Air Quality (IAQ): Tighter and better insulated structures enable the occupants to regulate the air quality with simple ventilation techniques. The EPA recognizes SIPs role in providing healthier IAQ.

Environmental Sustainability: SIPs typically produce 30% less jobsite waste than traditional construction and by nature of the materials used, reduce the burden on our natural resources and reduce green house gas emissions.
