Why do SIP structures outperform conventionally framed homes with the same R-Value?
The R-Value rating of a specific material or wall assembly was not intended to be the measure of thermal efficiency of a home. R-Value only measures resistance to heat loss by conduction. Other forms of heat loss are convection, radiation and especially infiltration (leakage). Conventional framing with batt insulation promotes convection,radiant and infiltration heat loss.
