Green Construction Using ICF and Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)

ICF, SIPs, Solar Energy and Energy Star

Designing & Building GREEN Helps to Save The Environment & "You" Money

Building with structural insulated panels (SIPs) can cut home energy consumption by up to 50%, making it easy to reach Energy Star qualifications with SIP homes.

SIPs provide high density foam insulation consistently and flawlessly, without the voids, gaps, and compression of insulation in stud walls. Studies done by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) show that when whole wall R-Value is measured, SIPs far outperform wood framed walls. By eliminating the loss of heating and cooling energy through gaps in the insulation, SIPs dramatically reduce the amount of energy used to heat and cool a home.

We are pleased to inform you that we have over four years of experience in designing and building with SIPs panels.
