Stressed Skin Insulating Core Panel House - Design, Construction and Evaluation

6 pagesThis paper describes three projects related to stressed skin insulating core (SSIC) panel construction: the energy and cost estimating software - SIP Scheming, the Stressed Skin Insulating Core Panel Demonstration House design and construction, and the Experimental University Housing testing.The design and construction of the University Housing was funded by the University of Oregon. The housing design was done under the direction of Donald Comer, Center for Housing Innovation, the University of Oregon. The energy design and testing of the University Housing Project was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. The SSIC demonstration house design and analysis was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and was executed with the cooperation of thirty-eight participating manufacturers. The construction was funded by St. Vincent dePaul of Lane County, OR and the builder was Goldenridge Construction. SIP Scheming was funded by the U. S. Department of Energy. All the projects were part of the Energy Efficient Industrialized Housing Research Project, a joint effort of the University of Oregon and the University of Florida
