STRAW SIP
(STRUCTURALLY INSULATED PANEL)
S-SIPs are modular building components that accelerate construction timelines and reduce the amount of labor needed on site.
Straw S-SIPS are a game changer in construction. Read more to learn about the material, the panel, and the complete assembly.
S-SIPs blends efficient, modern fabrication processes with the tested environmental, health, and thermal benefits of natural building practices to craft a highly insulative, carbon negative, and naturally fire-retardant system that revolutionizes building methods.
The system is comprised of several components to ensure long-term thermal performance and excellent indoor air quality.
Each panel is protected by vapor-permeable layers on both sides of the building shell. This layered assembly allows moisture to pass freely through the walls to maintain balanced humidity levels, prohibit mold, and prevents air from leaking in or out.
Not only do they provide a structural wall system, they can also save up to 75% on heating and cooling costs due to their excellent thermal properties. Under compression, each panel achieves consistent R-values (R-35+).

ASSEMBLY
Panelized straw bale construction make use of agricultural byproducts (straw) to store atmospheric carbon into our buildings for hundreds of years.
At the end of their lifecycle, they can be easily replaced, repaired, or if nothing else, composted. Here's how the ecosystem works:
