  1. Structural Insulated Panel System Chapter 15

  2. Structural insulated panel • Alternative to wood light frame • Closed panel system combines structure and insulation • Manufactured to specifications in shop and delivered to site ready to assemble • Reduces on site construction time, allows for the use of less skilled labor • Relatively small market share

  3. Composition of typical panel

  4. Basics of panel system • Expanded polystyrene core • Extruded polystyrene (XEPS) and polyisocyanurate (ISO) may also be used • 1/2 inch plywood or OSB facing each side • Panel laminated to insulation core • Structural grade adhesive • Applied under pressure • Used primarily in building envelope • Proprietary product - each manufacturer specific details • Manufacturer develops shop drawings based on architectural drawings • Fabricated after approval by architect and constructor

  5. Structural behavior • Panel behaves like an I-Section under axial and lateral loads

  6. Layout of typical exterior wall and corner

  7. Methods for connecting adjacent panels

  8. Typical corner connection

  9. Connection at slab on grade foundation

  10. Connection foundation wall

  11. Framing wall openings

  12. Connecting interior wall

  13. SIP floor @ SIP wall

  14. SIP floor @ SIP wall

  15. SIP floor @ SIP wall

  16. SIP roof ridge

  17. SIP at eave

  18. SIP roof supported by SIP wall

  19. Advantages of SIPS • Panelization eliminates insulation subtrade • Air retarders generally unnecessary • Reduced on-site waste • Energy efficiency

  20. Limitations of SIPS • Electrical chases pre-routed, requiring careful coordination • Absolutely square foundation and panels required for successful installation • Potential for termite and insect damage to wood and insulation • Long term performance of structure depends on performance of adhesives
