Energy Efficiency Starts with SIPs

Structural Insulated Panels help builders improve energy efficiency. SIPs create tight and energy efficient enclosures with minimal thermal breaks. It's not surprising to hear people say their SIPs saved them up to 50% in heating and cooling costs.

Create Energy Efficiency in Your Home with Premier Building System SIPs.

Energy Efficiency Meets the Wave of the Future

Premier Building System SIPs are manufactured in various thickness with values of R‑16, R‑24, R‑31, R‑39, and R‑47, depending on the width of walls. Testing at Oak Ridge National Laboratories (ORNL) showed that PBS SIP walls are far superior to conventional stick frame and batt insulated walls. A 4‑1/2" PBS SIP panel was 48% better than 2x6's with R‑19 batt insulation.

Superior SIP R‑Values

Premier SIPs have consistently outperformed other methods of construction in both whole wall R‑value comparison and energy efficiency. The most dramatic results are the reports of the happy customers of PBS, but there is also a significant level of scientific data as well. One of the best measures of energy efficiency of an entire wall assembly has been developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). This testing method considers energy losses for the structural members, corners, joints and around windows, as well as, R‑value of the insulation.

SIPs are deemed to comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star Program. SIPs have become a main component used in ORNL's NetZero Energy homes as well as the building system of choice by many leading universities for the Solar Decathalon Design competition. This amounts to a higher resell value for your home or business building. Whether you're building from the bottom up or increasing living space with a room addition, SIPs offer high energy performance and are the wave of the future.
