SIPs, Hats, and Heat Loss
According to a study out of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, “Heating and cooling loads associated with wall areas are the highest among all building envelope systems. That includes attic, doors, and windows.”
Why SIPs Equal Multiplication
Using Thermocore Structural Insulated Panels helps you save on on initial HVAC equipment and install costs, and then monthly heating and cooling bills.
SIPs Contribute Energy Efficiency for New Apartment Complex
Using both the 4" and 6 ½" inch wall panels for a multi-family residential building resulted in lower labor costs, and receiving a Silver rating under the National Association of Home Builders Green Building Standard.
A Warm and Happy New Year to All
As we start a new year, we are very grateful for the projects we’ve been involved with. We’re in our 16th year of designing and manufacturing energy-efficient structural insulated wall and roof systems.

Mortgage Risk Shrinks with Energy-Efficient Buildings
The research by the University of North Carolina’s Center for Community Capital provides the first real academic link between mortgages and energy efficiency, but it proves point: SIPs and other smart energy-saving features just make your financial situation better.
How Standard Options Hurt Fuel Economy
Using studs and other materials creates what’s commonly referred to as the “framing factor,” which can knock more than 25% off the R-value of whatever insulating materials you use.
What Makes an Upgrade Worth the Investment?
Heating, cooling, and insulating systems influence your monthly expenses more than any other products in your home, so new alternatives can quickly produce positive cash flows when compared to standard building options.
