The Benefits of Building Green

NRG Building Solutions Benefits of Green Building

 

The unique design of the NRG Building Solutions SIP panel is the ultimate in thermal design. The use of structural steel components in this unique panel design allows for up to 8 inches of additional NRG foam inside the structural frame.

Panels are sealed using Foam2Foam adhesive completing the system. With track and studs separated from interior living space, insulation values are maintained and maximized. The NRG attachment method allows for installation of components without compromising insulation values.

Some of the benefits of Insulating Expanded PolyStyrene include:

-Expanded PolyStyrene is resistant to insects including termites
-Recycling programs are in place and products are 100% recyclable
-As an insulation, NRG panels are stable and retains physical properties and R values
-Our panels are easy to install and requires no long term maintenance
-Growth of mold and mildew are not promoted by panels

Some of the benefits of structural steel framing include:

-Structural steel is cold roll formed producing framing components of extremely high quality and strength
-Steel is dimensionally stable and wont crack or shrink over time
-Mold and mildew are not supported by steel
-Termites and other insects are not attracted to steel and do not used steel as a food source
-Wood is more than fifty percent heavier than structural steel
-Larger spans and greater flexibility of design are made possible with the use of steel
