Enercept Building Systems Structural Insulated Panels

History of SIPs- “New” Technology

Created conceptually in 1935Frank Lloyd Wright used SIPs in affordable housing in the 1930’s & 1940’s.By 1960’s, SIPs were manufactured as we know them today.

What is a “SIP”?

Structural Insulated panels are a high-performance, energy-efficient system.They consist of structural skins laminated around a solid EPS closed-cell foam core.

An Evolutionary Tail…

“Balloon” Framing Methods utilized in U.S. since 1830’s“Stick & Box” Framing Methods utilized since mid-1950’s

A Better Mousetrap

Utilize the best practices of framing technology with patented innovations in posts and structural membersSIPs are square, straight, and built to the dimensions of the structure in a controlled environmentFraming, Sheathing, and Insulation in one stepLess labor, better R-Value, Tighter Structure2 ½ times stronger than stick frame construction.

SIP Economics 101

Sustainable building doesn’t mean more $$ Green $$Significant labor efficienciesA savings of 40-60% per month in energy costs is realistic saving hundreds of dollars/monthTax incentives for both builder/developer and the homeowner*

*Dependant upon current legislation and having structure rated by approved provider

SIP Economics 101

Better Indoor Air Quality means a healthier house, helping with allergies, asthma, etc.You know what your mortgage payment will be in 15 years, but do you know what your heating bill will be???
