How Does Enercept Compare?
SIPs vs. Conventional Framing
To compare the cost of SIPs to stick-frame construction is not an apples-to-apples comparison. Stick construction cannot compete with the thermal efficiency or superior strength of SIPs. Although the materials-to-materials cost of SIPs may be slightly higher than 2x construction, you must keep in mind that you are actually paying for some framing labor when you purchase our panels. The 50% or greater energy savings quickly recoups any additional investment over the cost of conventional framing. The savings continue even when you sell your home. A study released by the EPA in 1998 revealed that energy efficiency increases the resale value of homes by $20 for every $1 in annual energy cost savings.
