Sip's are the most energy efficient materials available!
It is very possible to cut Heating/Cooling costs by 50% or more. We can guarantee this through a 3rd party service that is available.
Not only do you achieve high "R" values but, the envelope is very tight. Air leakage is one of the most common obstacles to overcome in building an energy efficient home.
When you build a tight home you can properly condition the air that comes in or goes out, which has a direct effect on the comfort level of the home.
1. Build tight
2. Ventilate right, you bring in fresh air and exhale stale air with an air exchanger which becomes part of your HVAC system.
3. You can also regulate the humidity level which greatly effects the overall comfort level of the home.
4. You can/must downsize the HVAC equipment in order to achieve proper run time. The cost savings will usually offset the cost of the air exchanger.
5. Energy Star ratings are very easy to achieve!

Structural insulated panels are insulated wall panels used instead of traditional framed wall and roof systems. SIP's are the most "Energy Efficient" and most advanced framing system available today. A SIP house can have absolutely any exterior and interior look and finish applied with ease. un-matched air seal and R-values are achieved with this system. SIP's can be cut to any design.
SIP's are considered a "Green" material
