Energy efficiency
is by far the biggest benefit of the SIP system. The perimeter
of a home is wrapped in EPS insulation without the thermal
breaks experienced in 2x4 framing at each stud and around
the electrical work. Also, EPS (extruded polystyrene) insulation
maintains its integrity over time, whereas batt insulation
settles and absorbs moisture.
The U. of TN and the US Dpt. Of Energy compared 5 different building systems for clear-wall R-value verses whole-wall R-value. Clear-wall only measures the R-value of an uninterrupted insulation cavity section of the wall, while whole-wall takes into
account the areas where most thermal performance is lost, such as corners, studs, wall to roof and floor connections, window and door areas. The test concluded that SIPs maintain 88% of their clear-wall performance after whole-wall R-value in measured. This is 58% better than 2x6 stick-framing.
Panels provide a quieter and healthier living environment. EPS insulation is an excellent sound barrier, and the naturally tight construction of a SIP shell helps prevent dust and allergens from penetrating the home. The architect for the Redlin Art Museum
chose SIPs to protect the original artworks of Terry Redlin. An air exchanger is highly recommended to promote healthier air quality and control humidity. An air exchanger is not just for SIP homes, year 2000 Minnesota building code will mandate an air exchanger be installed in all newly constructed
homes.
One little known benefit of a SIP home is the freedom of interior design. You can throw your stud-finder away, since the entire inside is sheathed with 7/16" oriented strand board. Finding a place to support a nail for pictures,
curtains, or cabinets isn't a problem. Think how much faster it is to apply sheet rock when you don't have to worry about hitting the studs every time.
: SIPS are typically composed of two materials- OSB and EPS. The OSB is derived from short growth, replaceable tree crops. The EPS insulation does not contain any CFCs, (chlorofluorocarbons) or formaldehyde. At the Enercept plant, all scrap EPS foam
is recycled for reuse. Most Enercept basement panels contain up to 80% recycled foam.
