“…An estimate of seasonal heating energy saving indicated a 14% to 20% savings for the foam panel house. Blower door, tracer gas, and infrared imaging tests indicated that both homes were very air-tight; however, the panel house had 30% less air infiltration than the frame house (Rudd 1993). These data provide an "apples to apples" comparison between conventional and foam panel construction.…”

“…Conventional SIPs consist of two face sheets, typically plywood or oriented strandboard (OSB), separated by a layer of polymer foam insulation. Side-by-side comparisons of houses with conventional wall construction and houses with SIP construction show SIP walls can reduce energy consumption for space conditioning by 20% or more [1,2]. Moreover, labor savings and construction cycle time reductions of 65% are possible [3].…”

Panelized construction of residential buildings is gaining popularity due to the architectural and energy efficiency benefits that can be achieved. An important challenge to the design of panel structures for buildings is the balance between long-term structural performance and the thermal insulating requirement. In this study, foam core and web core panels are designed for residential roofs. Both panels are comprised of two face sheets and an insulating foam core. In the web core panel, thin metal webs that connect the face sheets are added to improve panel shear stiffness and enable longer spans. A design procedure is developed that considers R-value, panel deflection, core shear failure, bearing failure, and buckling of the face sheets and webs. The buckling model includes the ability of the foam core stiffness to restrain the buckling deformation. Panel designs are presented that provide R-5.3 m 2 K/W for roof loads of 1500, 2000, and 3000 N/m 2 , corresponding to climate zones in the US. It is demonstrated that the web core panel can be designed for these structural and thermal requirements with unsupported span lengths as long as 7 m, while span lengths for foam core panels are limited to 4 m. Web shear buckling and R-value are the two performance criteria that limit panel span length and depth.
