Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) Homes Open for Display

For more than 17 years, Sustainable House Day has provided a great opportunity for hundreds of thousands of people to visit some of Australia’s leading green homes – ones that are not only environmentally friendly, but cheaper to run and more comfortable to live in.

Sustainable House Day gives visitors a chance to inspect first-hand houses that have been designed, built or renovated with sustainability in mind as well as the opportunity to talk to the owners and receive unbiased advice.

There is an important need for an air-tight external building envelope construction on Australian homes, and a well built and well considered building envelope will not only save you money, but your health too. This article will explain the problems of air leakage from houses and moisture within the structure due to current temperatures within the homes.

Is this similar to the construction crisis in New Zealand in the 90’s, which cost the NZ government billions of dollars? Yes, according to construction lawyer, Kim Lovegrove, who did an interview with the Canberra Times and said he's seen "shades" of the same waterproofing problems that caused structural and health problems in tens of thousands of New Zealand buildings in Canberra.

SIPs Industries conducted fire tests on the SIPs to determine variables such as flame spread, roll-over and breach.

Energy Prices Soar

SIPs Energy Efficient Homes

It's the endless, embarrassing, and all-too-familiar dying fly routine. Old industries flail when there's a new kid on the block. *

Coal and gas are ramping up prices

Old technology panics as it dies. And we, the consumer, usually pay the price.

A few outages during peak summer months back in 2013-14 were enough for coal and gas industry lobbyists to convince government to invest over $50 billion dollars on "poles and wires." That figure, by the way, exceeds the national spend on the NBN. But you won't hear much about that from Murdoch's Media.
