Eagle Panel Systems Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are far superior in strength, energy efficiency, and lasting quality when compared to traditional framing/insulating methods. Creating a permanent energy envelope, the panels provide a more comfortable living space. Significantly reducing heating and cooling bills, Eagle Panel Systems SIPs insure continuous savings throughout the life of the structure.
Eagle Panel Systems SIPs provide the additional advantage of eliminating air infiltration. Commonly referred to as R-Value, the measure of resistance to heat flow through insulation, is based on tests conducted under laboratory conditions which do not take into consideration such variables as air infiltration, settling, moisture, compression behind wiring, etc. Other test studies have confirmed that minimal 15 mph to moderately high 25 mph outside winds significantly reduce the thermal performance of loose fill batt type insulation. Outside air enters through the loose fill insulation, which must be vented by moving air, and passes through electrical outlets and around windows and doors. The results of air infiltration are higher energy costs and uneven temperatures.
The energy envelope created by Eagle Panel Systems SIPs eliminates hot and cold spots caused by air leaks. Unaffected by air infiltration and other variables, the R-Value of Eagle Panel Systems SIPs increases in viability. The ability to eliminate air infiltration provides the difference in energy consumption and energy savings.
