Our prior experience with SIPs, combined with our client's familiarity and preference for the material, made it the ideal choice for this project.

  • SIP wall thickness and core material: 6" EPS
  • SIP roof thickness and core material: 12" EPS

SIPs offered significant advantages by streamlining construction. They reduced build time, minimized labor, and contributed to lower overall construction costs. Additionally, their exceptional insulation properties enhance energy efficiency, making them an ideal choice for this project.

The project incorporated innovative design elements and structural engineering techniques to maximize efficiency and performance. These included precision-engineered SIPs that enhanced structural integrity while allowing for creative architectural features. Advanced design methodologies ensured optimal load distribution and alignment with modern building standards.

  • HVAC: The project utilized a mini-split HVAC system, selected for its energy efficiency, compact design, and flexibility. This system provides precise temperature control for individual zones, ensuring optimal comfort while minimizing energy consumption.

The building envelope incorporated high-performance windows with a U-factor of 0.20 and additional high-R-value insulation, minimizing heat transfer and improving thermal performance.

The project features energy-efficient modern fixtures, appliances, and a high-performance hot water system, designed to reduce energy consumption while maintaining functionality and comfort.

The project incorporated sustainable materials, including low-VOC paint and stain, to improve indoor air quality and reduce environmental impact.

We are confident that Nature's Fix is a first-of-its-kind SIP build for our industry. We are proud to say the air-tight environment creates a cooler space in the summer and a warmer work environment in the winter.

This version incorporates the following:

  • SIPs thickness and core material
  • HVAC system
  • LED lighting (implied through the use of "energy-efficient modern fixtures")
