Green Building with SIPs - Good for families and Mother Nature

Live Green

When you choose to build your home with Premier SIPs, you are doing your part to preserve our environment and natural resources. Very few other framing products are considered "environmentally responsible." Here are a few ways that Premier SIPs are green for you as a homeowner:

• Premier SIPs create energy efficient structures, regularly saving you up to 60% every month on your utility bills.
• The energy efficiency helps your home stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter without using excessive amounts of natural gas, fuel or electricity.
• Premier SIPs form long walls, roofs and floors with very few gaps. SIPs help preserve the interior air quality of your home, while working to keep harmful pollutants out of your home.
• SIPs structures offer less air infiltration and produce an almost air-tight construction. This allows you to install a smaller HVAC (Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning) system in your home.
• SIPs are made from 100% recyclable materials.
• The wood portion of the panel (the OSB) is made only from rapidly renewable (fast growing) trees. OSB is produced in a way that uses almost the entire part of a tree, so very little wood is wasted.
• Jobsite framing waste is reduced by up to 60% so you can be confident the framing materials you are selecting are not adding excessive lumber waste to our landfills.
