Traditional “Florida” Homes with Gable roofs
• We recognized that there was a far more efficient means of constructing homes
• We saw SIPS as the wave of the future.

Structural Insulated Panels or SIPShave been around since the Great
Depression
• SIPs are a sandwich: –sheathing,
–foam insulation,
–sheathing

• SIPs are a type of I-beam
– Capable of supporting huge forces …Structural
– Thermally efficient …………….…….Insulated
– Manufactured …………………………. Panels

• Manufacturers differ by materials used and the way panels are fastened and connected.
• While offering some construction advantages, until Y2K the big question remained:
![Page 8: Stemming the Tide of Housing Shortages Around the World](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042817/559d069b1a28ab5d698b47fb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why use SIPs…
…when there exists:
• Cheap energy
• Competitive experienced labor base
• Fully developed commercial market offering traditional building materials locally.
![Page 9: Stemming the Tide of Housing Shortages Around the World](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042817/559d069b1a28ab5d698b47fb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
SIPs Historically
• No cost savings.
• No competition to drive prices down
• Few buyers to justify a sustained profit-oriented business.
• Result …SIPs remains a small niche market.

Over the years, the one big dynamic change:
• The price of oil
• In ’98 oil was about $15/barrel.
• In ’08 oil > $100/barrel
• The bad news:
~ + 600% with no sign of stabilizing over the long term

The good news:
“Green” emerges as a MARKET

Green saves Green
• Suppose you could choose to spend as you always have with the electric company …
…Or save half, or even more
![Page 14: Stemming the Tide of Housing Shortages Around the World](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042817/559d069b1a28ab5d698b47fb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Math
• That means, for a $200 electric bill you could reduce it to $100 per month …
…after month …after month.
• $100 X 12 = $1,200/yr
• $1,200/yr X 30 years = $36,000!

• How about if you were to invest $600?
![Page 16: Stemming the Tide of Housing Shortages Around the World](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042817/559d069b1a28ab5d698b47fb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
