3 What are SIPs? SIPs are high performance building panels that can be used to build, walls, roofs and floors in residential and commercial buildings. - Used in place of wood framed walls for greater energy efficiency. -Fabricated from 24 long pieces of Structural Grade OSB and an Expanded Polystyrene Foam Core (R-4 per inch of foam) -Similar to panelized construction in that SIPs are manufactured offsite, labeled, and shipped to the jobsite.

4 What are SIPs: History of SIPs. SIPs were invented by the US forest service in the late thirties. The use of panelized construction in general became more widespread, as a reaction to deforestation in the Pacific Northwest during WWI. The first SIP homes were built in the late 30 s, in Madison Wisconsin to test the material. The homes passed inspection during the late 50 s and SIP homes have been in production since that time. The use of SIP panels became more popular during the 90 s, due to increased interest in environmentalism and / or rising power bills, due to conflicts in the Middle East. - Integrating Panels into the Production Homebuilding Process September 2005 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development PATH (Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing) Washington, DC

6 SIP Panels are at least 2 times stronger than conventional stick framed walls. SIP Panels use design values with a higher Factor of Safety of (typically 3) compared to wood framing (F. O. S. around 1.5) SIP Panels provide greater shear, compression, and tensile strengths as a result of their higher factor of safety.

13 SIPS and Wind: Severe Wind Resistance This home built with spanels Structural Insulated Panels near McCall ID, around the Tamarack resort area, performed as expected, after a wind microburst dropped trees on it s roof. Not even any gypsum wall or roof seams were damaged as a result of the impact. One piece of wood soffit underneath the porch had aesthetic damage, and was replaced.

14 SIPS and Wind: Severe Wind Resistance

15 SIPs and Seismic Forces: Earthquake Resistance magnitude earthquake, Kobe Japan: A total of 6 SIP homes were built within a few miles of the quake epicenter. All 6 homes stood solidly after the force of the quake.

16 SIPs and Seismic Forces: Earthquake Resistance Whole house SIP shake table tests The following video: This video shows a SIP structure withstanding 40 inches of displacement in 5 seconds, on a platform designed to simulate earthquake conditions. This test was performed by Professor Khalid Mosalam, at Berkeley s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER).

17 SIPs and Energy Efficiency SIP homes are more efficient than conventional wood framing due to fewer air changes and overall less leaky construction. SIP homes use less fuel during winter heating and summer cooling due to increased R values. SIP homes conduct outdoor temperatures less, due to decreased thermal bridging.

18 Energy Performance: Oak Ridge National Laboratories (Study on Whole Wall Insulation Performance) The conclusion of the study was that a 4" SIP wall was found to be more effective at blocking heat transfer than a 6" conventional stud-framed wall and with 15 times less air infiltration. (

19 Energy Performance: spanels SIP Home, Afton, WY Data collected from blower tests on a 4044 square foot SIP home. Put in perspective, this 4044 square foot home is projected to use 74.5 Million Btus of energy in a year (18,400 Btu/sf year) the average 2143 square foot house annually uses 108 Million Btu of energy (50,400 Btu/sf year). 18,400 / 50,400 = spends 37% of what a typical house would on power bills. In layman s terms, this homeowner saves around 63% more on power bills then they would with a conventionally framed home. - this dwelling unit has a projected level of annual heating and cooling energy consumption that is at least 50% below the annual level of heating cooling energy consumption of a reference dwelling in the same climate zone

Wood framing, seen on the right, allows thermal bridging and poor energy performance.

24 SIPs Contractor Benefits. SIPs are easy to assemble. Jobsite waste is reduced Build time is reduced Electrical Chases are Pre-installed, Electrician s time is reduced. SIPs fill a Niche market sought after by home owners and businesses. SIPs fulfill the demands of energy conservation codes, such as IECC 2012

25 SIPs Contractor Benefits:

26 SIPs Contractor Benefits: spanels product features a 20 YR Limited Warranty on workmanship and materials. spanels Limited warranty includes accessory materials supplied as part of spanels specifications.

27 Part II: Inspection Criteria and Code Reports. Construction Inspection Criteria. NTA Seismic zones D,E,F Listing Report. ICC-ES Product Listing Report.

28 SIPs Construction Inspection Criteria What to look for: Tight joints, not more than 1/8 of spline material can be seen between panel joints. Make sure the manufacturer s or structural engineer s fastener placement schedule is being followed at: 1. wall panel joints, 2. at roof panel joints, 3. and in the spacing of screws which go through the roof panels into beams and/or the wall panel top plates. Make sure the SIP manufacturer has a Code Evaluation Report Listing, with an industry recognized evaluation service. ( ICC-ES, and NTA being the most common) OR, LACKING THAT, a structural engineer willing to denote code equivalency in writing.

29 SIPs Construction Inspection Criteria What to look for Make sure that panel joints have been sprayed with manufacturer recommended sealant. Plumbing in SIP walls can cause condensation if plumbing is run inside the panels. This happens because standing water in a plumbing pipe is usually colder than the indoor air temperature. (somewhat like a lavatory tank) Water vapor can get trapped in the panel, due to the tightness of the construction. Make sure plumbing is not being run through SIP walls.

30 spanels Code Reports: NTA Seismic D,E,F Seismic tests on SIP panels are meant to prove equivalency to the rigidity of a wood framed, plywood sheeted wall of the same size.

31 spanels Code Reports:NTA Seismic D,E,F Equivalency to the rigidity of a wood framed, plywood sheeted wall is achieved with a monatonic weight loaded seismic racking shear test, to achieve a backbone arch result. This result must be reached without using sealants or adhesives (which are a typical part of SIP construction) These components would actually make the assembly behave in a more rigid and acceptable manner.

32 spanels Code Reports: NTA Seismic D,E,F A backbone arch result indicates the time and magnitude of shaking during testing when the fasteners (nails) in a SIP wall system begin to unseat. If this result is reasonably close to the backbone arch result in a wood framed wall, and the result can be repeated, then NTA s test criteria has been passed.

33 spanels Code Reports: NTA Seismic D,E,F An APA (American Plywood Association) testing facility in Seattle tested our panels, from those tests NTA wrote spanel s seismic zone D, E, and F report, and spanel s seismic zone D, E and F product listing.

34 spanels Code Reports: ICC-ES spanels currently uses the ICC-ES To provide product listing services. An advantage of the ICC-ES ESR report is that it is widely known, so much so that it is often mistaken for a requirement of the ICC codes. Several other companies, such as NTA provide product listing services which satisfy code requirements.

35 spanels Code Reports: ICC-ES

36 spanels Code Reports: ICC-ES Load charts for SIP roofs are highly dependent on deflection criteria, which is usually determined by support structure (beam) spacing, roof loads, and ceiling finish material choice.

37 spanels Code Reports: ICC-ES Many detail decisions such as those noted here as spanels typical installation details are often modified by the personal preferences of a project s structural engineer.
