Sorta like building a house out of pumicecrete, the materials are cheap strong & have great insulating properties but YEP there is a patent and the guys with the patent sit on the product and do high end solutions at high profit ONLY. Soooo when the patents on these techniques run out we'll be able to use them, but NOT until then. It’s interesting to note that you simply can’t find these panels for sale.

I built several homes and property walls with these panels some years back. Friends in the south pacific would like to build inexpensive homes where manual labor and sand is plentiful. Need mfgr address and shipping possibilities to South Pacific. Really need to know who sells the naked panels. I built several homes and property walls with these panels some years back.

We just "Fully completed" a 2,800 square foot shell of a house in California in "5" days and can be lived in now but we are taking another few days to finish the inside and landscaping. (We used Tridi-panels as we have a factory in the U.S. but wanted to try out another company and will stay with our U.S. partners. 2 - Use a patented, revolutionary HVAC system that saves up to 60% of energy without a traditional compressor. This system can cool and heat to extreme temperatures. 3 - Use a water out of air extraction that eliminates the need to have public utilities as: 4 - Solar and Wind Energy units that produce enough energy on scale to accommodate virtually any size building. 5 - Water heating system that uses 90% less gas than traditional systems that has been used in South America for many years. 6 - Fireproofing liquid that has over an R600 rating and allows no smoke. It is virtually organic and non-toxic. 7 - Revolutionary Designs that capitalize upon maximum use of space with the Utilitarian benefits of any style architecture while growing a home or commercial building as a living, breathing Entity.

Does anyone have contact info for a manufacturing plant capable of providing the finished scip panels and a builder capable of not only constructing a SCIP house but having the documentation needed on the product to pass city building inspector codes? If you do have this info, please share it. I keep hearing about these panels but I can’t find anyone who is actually making them or building with them.

It is not biodegradable, so it really depends where this product is found that makes the difference. Let’s say you buy food that comes in Styrofoam packages. That styrofoam is not recyclable due to sanitary reasons, but if the foam is just for packaging or in this case for building purposes, it is fully recyclable. There is a company in the USA that has a recycling program specially for this type of foam: Here is the web link in case you have any further questions: http://www.basf.com/corporate/news2000/recycling122200.html In response to Todd’s comment that styropor (which is the type of styrofoam used in SCIP technology) is not recyclable, I know for fact that it is recyclable.

First of all, EPS foam is far from a sustainable product. It is basically the same material as a styrofoam cup. This foam does not biodegrade, and cannot be recycled. However, SIPs provide much needed insulation and are strong enough to last intense storms. They will continue to be "greener" products as the materials become greener. Some companies are testing bio-based foams, and other recycle core alternatives. There will be many exciting products in the future.
