DOE Tour of Zero: Clinton 2 Story Residence, Coupeville, WA by Clifton View Homes with SIPs by Premier Building Systems

The above-grade walls were constructed of 6.5-inch-thick structural insulated panels (SIPs). SIPs consist of two OSB panels sandwiching an expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam layer typically 4 to 9 inches thick. The panels are manufactured at a factory then cut to order for the job, with wall dimensions and knock-outs for doors, windows, electrical, and plumbing precut for quick assembly, a plus in the Northwest marine climate where precipitation can be a daily occurrence 9 months of the year.
