How much do you know about structural insulated panels (SIPs)? These high-performance building panels can be used almost anywhere you need insulation and rigidity – walls, floors, roofs. And their hidden superpower is that not only do they up your insulation game to save you money on operating costs, but they also can save you build time, cut down on external noise, improve indoor air quality, and even offer enhanced durability and resilience.
Our partners at the Structural Insulated Panel Association have many resources, including a costing tool, and free education modules for architects, builders, and information for realtors and consumers.
From renewable energy to energy-efficient lighting, net zero energy and water, eco-friendly materials and more, we’re sharing the latest green building trends.

Yet, thankfully, more and more manufacturers are dreaming up ways to do things better. After much research, here’s a list of 19 of the sustainable industry leaders.
