Overview

Course Description

Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are a new sustainable structural panelized building material that can be used for roofs, floors, and wall panels. This course will examine various uses and structural limitations on the materials. An exploration of code requirements and constructibility will be included. Design examples will illustrate cost effective approaches to incorporating this new sustainable material.

ATTN: This educational offering is recognized by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry as satisfying 1 hour of credit toward the required continuing education.

Learning Objectives
