SIPS Lifecycle Assessment The results of this SIP Life Cycle Analysis demonstrate an average savings of 9.9 times the amount of energy expended when using SIPs compared to traditional stick framing for a home in the U.S, and a reduction […]

SIPs Save Energy Building with SIPs creates a superior building envelope with high thermal resistance and minimal air infiltration. Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Whole-wall R-value studies show that a 4-inch SIP wall (nominal) rated at R-14 outperforms a 2×6 […]

Example of Thermal Bridging. Traditional stick frame construction above. SIP’s provide a more consistent R-value as shown below. SIPs are recognized by ENERGY STAR as method to reduce thermal bridging.

R-values are used to determine a material’s resistance to heat transfer. The higher R-values indicate greater effectiveness at preventing heat transfer than lower R-values. Once again, the next step up in SIP Roof panel thickness to a 12 ¼” panel.

R-values are used to determine a material’s resistance to heat transfer. The higher R-values indicate greater effectiveness at preventing heat transfer than lower R-values. Once again, this is a step up in thickness of an SIP Roof panel. In this […]

R-values are used to determine a material’s resistance to heat transfer. The higher R-values indicate greater effectiveness at preventing heat transfer than lower R-values. This table highlights the R-Value of an 8 ¼” SIP Roof panel. The R-Values are quite […]

R-values are used to determine a material’s resistance to heat transfer. The higher R-values indicate greater effectiveness at preventing heat transfer than lower R-values. This is similar to the last table, with the only difference being the wall thickness moving […]

R-values are used to determine a material’s resistance to heat transfer. The higher R-values indicate greater effectiveness at preventing heat transfer than lower R-values. This chart is similar to the last, but indicating R-Value for a 6 ½” SIP wall. […]

R-values are used to determine a material’s resistance to heat transfer. The higher R-values indicate greater effectiveness at preventing heat transfer than lower R-values. This table gives an example of the R-values of a 4 ½” SIP wall as an […]

R-values are used to determine a material’s resistance to heat transfer. The higher R-values indicate greater effectiveness at preventing heat transfer than lower R-values. When a SIP Floor panel is utilized, this table would indicate expected performance. Please note the […]
