Abstract

This report summarizes research results from March 1996 to February 1997 for the Energy Efficient Industrialized Housing Research Program. One of our research focuses was stressed skin insulating core (SSIC) panel construction. SSIC panels, which carry their loads entirely through their skins, are of interest because they eliminate thermal bridging caused by studs and they easily form airtight construction reducing air infiltration. We completed three projects with SSIC panels - an entry-level house design for nonprofit developers, a new floor and foundation system, and a study of alternative skins for the panels.
