Exterior Walls
VOL 2 THERE HABGUIDE EXTERIOR WALLS PATH (Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing) is a new private/public effort to develop, demon strate, and gain widespread market acceptance for the “Next Generation” of American housing. Through the use of new or innovative technologies the goal of P ATH is to improve the quality , durability, environ mental efficiency, and affordability of tomorrow’s homes. Initiated at the request of the White House, P ATH is managed and supported by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In addition, all Federal Agencies that engage in housing research and technology development are PATH Partners, including the Departments of Energy and Commerce, as well as the Environmental Protection Agency (EP A) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). State and local governments and other participants from the public sector are also partners in PATH. Product manufacturers, home builders, insurance companies, and lenders represent private indus try in the PATH partnership.

About Sips and Csips
1 – About SIPs and CSIPs This report focuses on a relatively new technology and a relatively small industry within the larger scope of the building community. In addition, by addressing cementitious-faced SIPs, this report addresses an even narrower segment. To put this report in perspective, we first review the current status and practices of the SIP industry. 1.1 – What are SIPs and CSIPs? SIPs are high-performance composite building panels used in floors, walls, and roofs for residential and light commercial buildings. These panels are fabricated in a factory and shipped to a construction site, where they can be quickly assembled to form a tight, energy-efficient building envelope. SIPs are a simple composite sandwich panel. ASTM International defines simple sandwich panels as “a three layered construction formed by bonding a thin layer (facing) to each side of a thick layer (core).” 1 The term “composite” refers to any material in which two or more distinct Figure 1 – Structural Insulated Panel materials are combined together, yet with Cement Fiber Facing remain uniquely identifiable in the mix. Generally, SIPs are made by sandwiching a core of rigid foam plastic insulation between two structural skins, though many different variations (based on facing and core materials) are included in the blanket definition. SIPs are currently made with a variety of structural skin materials, including oriented strand board (OSB), treated plywood, fiber-cement board (cementitious), and metal. However, virtually any bondable material could be used as a facing. Core materials are typically expanded polystrene (EPS), extruded polystrene (XPS), or polyurethane, but other rigid insulation can be used as well. -
Adaptations of Cementitious Structural Insulated Panels for Multistory Construction
Adaptations of Cementitious Structural Insulated Panels for Multistory Construction A report by THE FEDERATION OF AMERICAN SCIENTISTS for THE CHARLES PANKOW FOUNDATION June 26, 2009 1 Letter from Federation of American Scientists President, Henry Kelly Reprinted from FAS Public Interest Report, Summer 2007 The building industry has managed to dodge the innovation in materials, design, assembly methods, and quality control management that has revolutionized most other manufacturing businesses in the United States. Automobiles are expected to use advanced composites to increase safety and performance, and we are used to the idea that there are more than 50 microprocessors in a car controlling everything from the windows to fuel injection. But there’s very little on a modern construction site that would surprise your grandfather. The sluggish rate of innovation in construction makes it difficult to imagine how we can provide safe, comfortable, affordable housing for the seven billion people on the globe without placing unacceptable burdens on world resources. Comfort and safety are basic essentials in a good life, which should be reflected in our homes and work. However, at least a third of the world’s population still lives in primitive conditions—two billion people have little or no electricity. Wars, earthquakes, floods, and other calamities create new housing demands and often lead to enormous camps where displaced persons are forced to live in primitive structures for years. Often tents are the only affordable shelter. Despite our position as a global leader, the United States is scarcely an exception. The victims of the Katrina and Rita hurricanes are still cramped into unhealthy travel trailers two years later as states try to provide acceptable temporary and permanent shelter for them. -
