This course will explain the benefits of designing with structural insulated panels (SIPs) for residential applications. The designer will gain a better understanding of application, assembly and detailing in order to properly utilize SIPs for optimum energy efficiency and durability. Through case studies and design strategies, the designer will walk away from the course with a better understanding of designing for current industry standards with SIPs.

Learning Objectives:

Describe and define SIPs and their residential applications 
Explain energy-efficiency design strategies utilizing SIPs
Illustrate SIP design and engineering methods
List and describe current industry assembly standards
