Overall, non-wood SIPs haveexcellent strength and durability. These SIPsmay be used alone or in combination with woodframing or other building systems. Depending onthe system, on-site modifications may be difficultor impossible.Framed PanelsFramed panels are factory-built modular panelswith structural framing elements built in. Someresemble site-built framed walls, but variations arepossible. For example, Thermasteel Corporationproduces EPS core panels with steel channelframing on the interior and exterior faces, creatinga 2-1/2” gap that reduces thermal bridging. Thesepanels are assembled using the techniques oflight-gauge steel framing.Concrete PanelsConcrete panels precast in a factory can be madeto a higher strength than site-built block or castin-placewalls, and without weather delays. Inresidential construction, concrete panels are mostoften used in below-grade foundation walls, butthey can be used for part or all of the structuralenvelope. When used to create conditioned spaceinsulation material will be a necessary addition tothe system, as concrete itself has a poor R-value.Concrete panels can be manufactured withan insulating core made of EPS or other foaminsulation, or cast with a layer of foam insulationon one side.(FIG.D) FRAMED PANELS use techniques similarto standard wood or light-gauge steel framing but arebuilt in a factory. Shown here is a steel-framed panelmanufactured by Dynabilt.FURTHER INFORMATION• Structural Insulated Panel Association(SIPA) (www.sips.org)• Toolbase (www.toolbase.org)• Residential Advantage Building Systems -Jackson, MS (www.resadvan.com)• General Panel - Grenada, MS(www.generalpanel.com)NOTES ON PANELIZED SYSTEMSPanelized Systems structural component systems
