If you are planning to build an energy efficient home, SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels or stress skin panels) will help you achieve the energy savings you’re looking for. In fact, building a green home with SIPs could save you approximately 50% - 60% in heating and cooling costs compared to a home built with 2x material and fiberglass or cellulose insulation. (Visit the Structural Insulated Panel Association's website)
Structural Insulated Panels create a continuous thermally insulated wall with R-Values superior to that of fiberglass or cellulose insulation. Below is an R-Value analysis chart (thanks to Foard Panel).
Delivering substantial energy savings, providing a less drafty building envelope, better noise insulation and providing a comfortable living environment, “SIPs” is one of the biggest buzz words in the green building industry.
