        Hidewood Meats SIP Market

        Awards/Certifications: Building Excellence Awards    BEA: 2022 Agricultural Winner

        Building use:
        Hidewood Meats provides custom meat processing of beef, pork, lamb, goat, and deer.  It is also a retail outlet for meat, seasonings, sauces, cheese, and honey.

        SIP benefits for this job:
        The Nielsen's chose SIPs for the insulating value - especially for the coolers and freezers that make up the bulk of the building's square footage.

        SIP wall thickness: 6" walls with EPS foam core
        SIP roof thickness: 10" roof with EPS foam core

        Comments on labor saving, construction time, construction costs, and energy savings:
        Using SIPs saved the builder a great deal of time.
        SIPs were used for most of the interior walls as well as all of the exterior walls. 
        Using SIPs with factory-installed Fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) also saved a huge amount of on-site labor costs.

        Innovative design elements:
        SIPs were used for all exterior walls plus interior wall and ceiling panels for the coolers, cutting room, freezer, and smokehouse.  A reinforced trussed system installed over the insulated SIP roof panels supports a rail system to move product from the chute to the hanging cooler and cutting room. The rail system support (trusses) must support 2,000-5,000 pounds per rail.
        FRP was installed at the factory for all interior surfaces; because it is a food processing facility, stainless steel nails were used to connect the SIP panels.

        HVAC:
        Propane-fueled, Rheem 95% efficient residential furnace heats the storefront, office, and restroom. The air is cooled in the summer with an electric Rheem central air unit. 
        Compressors control the temperatures in the walk-in coolers and freezer.

        Additional energy-efficient products or features:
        There are three double-pane windows on the south and west-facing sides of the storefront that utilize solar gain in the winter months.

        Additional energy-efficient products or design features:
        LED lighting is installed throughout the building.

        Sustainable materials or design features, i.e. low VOC finishes, landscaping, or recycled materials:
        There was no paint needed for the interior which is covered in FRP.  The floors are unfinished concrete.

        Additional comments:
        The owners relocated from metro Minnesota to their hometown of Brandt (population 107) to start their own business.  Hidewood Meats services a multi-county agricultural community in eastern South Dakota and western Minnesota.
        The owner, Kevin Nielsen, noted that other than some moisture issues early on (corrected with an air-handling system) he is very pleased with the efficiency and functionality of his building.
