About the AuthorMichael Morley is President of Edelman Public Relations, New York, and Deputy Chairman, Worldwide.
These energy-efficient building panels are among the strongest, most versatile construction components available today. Within the decade, it is estimated that as much as one-third of residential construction will use structural insulated panels, or SIPs. Michael Morley presents information about this relatively new technology for the many builders who will be using it within the near future but who know little about it.

It was written a few years ago, and could use some updating on the list of manufacturers. It doesn't really address the problems that sometimes occur if ants burrow into the foam (generally. Tom Ferrell said Excellent Starting Point for Learning about SIPS. Just a quick note on this book. My wife and I are looking to build an energy-efficient home. We are both engineers and very detail-oriented people. As part of our due diligence, we picked up this book after seeing a demonstration house built with SIPS as part of
