EPS Foam is a recyclable material that is completely inert in the environment, and is in fact often used as a soil additive. Producing EPS foam insulation requires less energy than producing fiberglass Insulation requires less energy than producing fiberglass insulation, and no CFCs are used in the process.
OSB is made from fast-growing, small-diameter tress that can be harvested from plantations, avoiding the need for cutting old-growth trees. Even the smallest scraps of wood can be turned into 0SB, virtually eliminating waste
SIP homes require up to 50% less energy to heat and cool than stick-framed homes, meaning less fossil fuel consumption and fewer greenhouse gas emissions. The efficiency of a SIP building is a result of both the air-tight envelope the panels create, and the substantially higher R-Value of SIPs when compared to stick-framed walls.
