	A report submitted  by the University of Central Florida to the U.S. Department of Energy on the results of a construction process analysis between SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) and stick framing.
		The study initiated by the Habitat for Humanity compared the construction processes of two home building systems, one with structural insulated panels and the other with conventional 2x4 stick frames. Their findings show that a SIP panel home can save upwards of 65% on site labor and 50% material and usage waste as compared to a standard 2x4 stick framed home. Click here for details
