SAVE 30-70% on your Heating & Cooling costs

Structured Insulated Panels (SIPs) are high performance building panels used mostly for exterior walls, but also for roofs and floors on some projects. SIPs are made with expanded poly styrene (EPS) rigid foam insulation sandwiched between two structural skins of oriented strand board (OSB).
Advantages:
Performance: SIPs are 30-50 percent more energy efficient because they reduce air leakage by over 80%. Combine that with the R-24 insulation value in 6 5/8” thick walls, and minimal thermal bridging because of the elimination of the 2x6 studs, and you have yourself one super-energy efficient house.
Cost: Cost is similar to an upgraded insulation package using closed cell spray foam, but performance is 25% better.
Speed: SIPs pre-engineered and pre-cut wall panels that come ready to assemble, so entire wall sections can be set at one time. An experienced crew can set the exterior walls on a standard ranch house in 4 hours.
Comfort: SIPs are quieter, tighter, and less drafty.
Strength: SIPS are 2-3 times stronger than traditional stick framed walls.
It really is a no-brainer to build your next house using Structured Insulated Panels.
Geothermal Heating and Cooling is the next wave of clean and sustainable energy. Geothermal systems use the free, renewable energy found in your own back yard to save up to 70% on heating, cooling, and hot water costs.
Advantages:
Cost of Operation: Save up to 70% in heating, cooling, and hot water heating costs using the energy stored in the earth.
Cost of Installation: Thanks to our generous government, you will receive a 30% tax credit for the total cost of the unit and installation.
Quiet: No exterior air conditioner to keep you awake at night, entire unit contained in furnace unit.
If you want a quieter, tighter, less drafty house that costs substantially less to operate on a monthly basis, talk to the knowledgeable staff at UBUILDIT. This is only the beginning of how much money you will save when you build with UBUILDIT, your energy saving building specialist.
