  How green are structural insulated panels?
  • A:
    - The highly insulated energy efficient panels can reduce utility bills up to 60%.
    - The production of the Magic boards is low tech and energy efficient producing
    minimal greenhouse gases. It is considered a Green/Eco friendly product.
    - The panel system reduces job site waste.
    - The polyurethane foam utilizes a sustainable sugar cane derivative as part of
    the polyol component of the foam .
    - The airtight system allows control of the indoor environment providing a better living environment.

    Resource use: The insulation used in SIPs is a lightweight rigid foam plastic composed of 98% air, and requires only a small amount of petroleum to produce. The foam insulation used in panel cores is made using a non-CFC blowing agent that does not threaten the earth’s ozone layer.
    Waste minimization: Since SIPs are prefabricated in the factory, there is less jobsite waste that needs to be land filled.
