Building a Green Home

Build your new home on your lot with Structural Insulated panels (SIPs) for far less than it would cost to have a builder stick build it. SIP panels are at least 4 times stronger than wood framed walls and can withstand winds up to 150MPH. Your home will be easier and cheaper to build, stronger, quieter and better insulated than a stick built home. Save 50%+ on energy consumption, using an HVAC system half the size of a stick built home of the same square footage.
A typical 1500 Square Foot 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath, 2 Car Garage Home Shell installed @ of $19.90 per SF = $29,970.00. This includes exterior doors, Low E energy efficient windows and steel interior framing. The shell is waterproof and resists mold and mildew. Pests like rodents, termites and other wood-eating insects derive no food valve from the 1.5 CFP Expanded Polystyrene foam. These fire resistant panels also allow for greater insurance premium discounts.
When properly installed this system creates a thermal envelope unsurpassed in the building industry. One of the most exciting features of this system is its physical comfort. Panels create an environment that is more easily and economically controlled, quieter and cleaner. Insulation ratings compared to fiberglass insulation batts more than double, due to restricted air flow. R ratings as high as R-40.78 can be achieved with proper design. An 8" roof panel can provide you with an R-40.78 insulation Rating and a cathedral ceiling as well! Because panels can be fabricated to jumbo sizes (8' X 30') versatility of design and speed of construction saves you big in construction costs.
Combined with other Energy Efficient Innovations such as Tankless Hot Water systems, Solar Hot Water Heating Systems, Geo-Thermal Heating and Cooling Systems, Low E Insulated Windows, Air-conditioned HVAC Systems and many other modern features, SIP constructed homes are the latest in home building "cutting edge" technology!
Stick built walls originally was designed to be structural, not insulated. With insulated building panels, the insulation is not a hit-or-miss afterthought, but an integral part of the structure. Needless to say Building with SIPs is the COOL thing to do! SIPs are the future of the building industry*

*Referred to by the industry as 21st century building material, SIPs have similar structural characteristics to a steel I-beam. Not only have they stood the test of natural disasters such as Hurricane Andrew and the Great Hanshin (Kobe, Japan) and North Ridge earthquakes, but they also are incredibly fire resistant. With no air within their solid cores, fire cannot penetrate and “run up” the panel’s interior space as it can with conventional fiberglass insulation. SIPs can be adapted for any stock house plan and meet code requirements of the NES (National Evaluation Service) or the ICBO (International Conference of Building Officials).
