These sample agricultural projects built with structural insulated panels (SIPs) include barns, farm offices, workshops and shouses (shop + house combinations). SIPs are expecially suitable for agricultural buildings because of their thermal efficiency under extremely hot or cold temperatures. Select a location at the right to find SIP examples near you. Most individual Project Profiles provide the following information:

Land and Cattle SIP OfficeLand and Cattle SIP Office
Ideal, SD
A major benefit of using SIPs in the construction of the JLC Office Building was the time savings factor. Robb and his crew were able to set 320 lineal feet of wall panel in one day. In December 2016, despite single digit temperatures, the construction crew got almost all of the exterior walls up in one week. Because of the remote location, finding construction labor was a challenge. SIPs made it easier to build using fewer people.
