SIP buildings are more energy efficient, stronger, quieter, and have less drafts than other building systems, such as stud framing with fiberglass insulation. Fiberglass is sometimes used for furnace filters because air moves through so freely. Rigid insulation is used as a solid component insulation in almost every industry because of its inherent efficiency and lack of air movement. These attributes are built right into a SIP building. Minimal air leakage means fewer drafts, less noise, lower energy bills, and a more comfortable indoor environment. SIP Walls Systems
Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are one of the most airtight and well insulated building systems available, making them an inherently green product. An airtight SIP building will use less energy to heat and cool, allow for better control over indoor environmental conditions, and reduce construction waste. SIP's Technical Analysis
A wide variety of panelized metal wall systems are available for installation as a
buildings exterior wall cladding. Each system must be specially adapted to its intended
building use. Metal wall panels are usually fabricated of aluminum but can also be
manufactured from steel, stainless steel, copper, or composite materials.

Strawbale homes can be comfortable and can manage moisture effectively when
designed and constructed properly. They use low embodied energy and low-toxicity
building materials which are usually available locally.
