Energy Savings
- Ongoing utility costs reduced up tp 70%
- Uses a much smaller HVAC system
- Significantly contributes to LEED Certification points
Asips panels have a solid core of expanded polystyrene (EPS). Structures built with Amerisips panels are highly insulated and have significantly higher R Values than stick frame construction.
With such high R Values and an insulated shell, owners can expect utility costs 50-70% less than stick frame construction.
The R value is a measure of thermal resistance used in the building and construction industry. Under uniform conditions it is the ratio of the temperature difference
across an insulator and the heat flux through it. The bigger the number, the better the building insulation's
effectiveness. Generally speaking, the R values in SIPs construction are approximately 50% higher than
stick frame construction.
