Structural insulated panel system manufacturer, Insulspan®, received honors in multiple categories during the 2021 Building Excellence Awards. The awards were announced by the Structural Insulated Panel Association (SIPA) during the virtual annual meeting and ceremony held on March 16, 2021.
“Insulspan SIPs are the best building material to use in any net-zero or net-zero ready project. We are honored to work on these innovative, sustainable, and energy efficient housing projects.”
— Insulspan General Manager, Stephen Munn
Insulspan’s “Carrington View Building A” project won top honors for excellence in the Multifamily: High Performance category. Located in West Kelowna, British Columbia, Carrington View Building A was developed and built as a net-zero energy ready apartment building by Highstreet Ventures. The building incorporates a SIP wall system, which creates the tight building envelope necessary in a net-zero energy ready building.
Insulspan’s “Mosgiel Residence” was recognized as runner-up in the Single Family Homes under 3,000 sq. ft.: Classic category. This 1,582-square-foot home located in New Zealand was built by TimberTech Homes, Ltd. A tight building envelope of SIPs is an integral part of creating this net-zero energy home, which resulted in energy savings of 84% monthly when compared to a typical home of this size in New Zealand.
“Insulspan SIPs are the best building material to use in any project whose goal is to be either net-zero energy or net-zero energy ready. We are honored to work with companies like Highstreet Ventures and TimberTech Homes on these incredible projects and applaud their dedication to creating innovative, sustainable, and energy efficient housing,” said Insulspan General Manager, Stephen Munn.
Since 2002, SIPA’s award program has promoted excellence in projects built using structural insulated panels (SIPs). Judged by an independent panel of industry experts, front runners in the industry are honored at the annual awards presentation for their innovative, energy efficient projects.
