Sustainable homes now mainstream

Structural Insulated Panels - SIPs built homes are built with the SIPs material which is basically super-sturdy foam core between OSB. It is highly energy efficient and more water tight than other paneling system. It makes a better product than just regular OSB over framing. You probably won’t be able to tell if the home is built of SIPs panels, but if it is a new construction, don’t be afraid to ask about the construction technique.
