Insulation Panels & The Environment

Use a building material with built‑in benefits for the environment ‑ insulation. Consisting of a layer of expanded polystyrene insulation (EPS) sandwiched between two layers of oriented strand board (OSB), Premier's SIPs feature a 55% higher whole‑wall efficiency than traditional two‑by‑six, R‑19 construction. Not only does building a room addition or office building with Premier's SIPs help lower utility costs by up to 60% and reduce the size of HVAC equipment by up to 40%, it also contributes greatly to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.

The energy savings from EPS in structures can translate into emission reductions of tons of carbon dioxide per year. So insultation improves the energy efficiency over the full operating life of the building resulting in a positive impact on the environment.

SIPs Provide the Best Impact on the Environment

Building materials and their impact on the environment must be considered over the full life of the building structure. This is considered the “life cycle” of the building. This includes inventorying the cost to the environment from material production, transportation, installation, use, and end of life reuse, recycling, or disposal.

Research has shown for both residential buildings and commercial buildings operations contribute to over 90% of the building's impact on global warming. Reducing energy use and its resulting pollution is the best way to reduce our impact on the environment.

From manufacturing to recycling, Premier's structurally insulated panels are the best impact on the environment. The OSB and lumber scrap is reused and or sent to wood recycling facilities. Foam scrap from the miiddle of SIPs is also reground so that it can be reformed into new foal production. Premier's process creates very little waste for landfill. And they're foam is producted from a physical reaction simply by adding heat and water rather than harsh chemicals like other insulations. None of Premier's products emit HCFCs or CFCs and they're mastics are available with zero VOC compounds.

Reducing the impact on the environment is even considered during the transportation of Premier's SIPs.Premier Building System focuses on efficient use of fuel resources by contracting with common carriers who can plan for one‑way (rather than round‑trip) deliveries. This saves extensive amounts of fuel and money, and is the reason Premier purposely does not have they're own fleet of transportation.

Reducing construction waste also reduces our impact on the environment. SIPs are precut and ready to install as soon as they arrive at the jobsite. In comparison to traditional framing, SIPs contribute 30% less jobsite lumber waste.

When you measure the “life cycle” of building with SIPs you cannot ignore that Premier Building System is 100% is responsible when it comes to producing green products and reducing our impact on the environment. Our trained project representatives are ready to help you learn how SIPs can have the best impact on the environment… and your family!
