The first SIP house was built in 1952 in Michigan, USA. Since then over 20,000 SIP homes are built each year and many more world wide What is the comparison between a SIP and a Stud/Stick Built Home SIP buildings are vastly more energy efficient, stronger, quieter, and more draft free than other building systems, such as stud framing with fiberglass insulation. Fiberglass is sometimes used for furnace filters because air moves through so freely. Rigid insulation is used as solid component insulation in almost every industry for its inherent efficiency and lack of air movement. These attributes are built right into a SIP building. Less air leakage means fewer drafts, less noise, lower energy bills, and a much more comfortable indoor environment. Cost: How can I estimate the cost of materials?
