The Environmental Design Conference recently concluded at Sarasota and with a successful dialogue for actionable housing change. And the local and industry leaders present here were right to point at the need for a real transition to sustainable housing.
Among the many solutions and ideal products to drive this eco-friendly change, SIP panel home kits grabbed the most attention and queries, and for good reasons.
If you’re someone looking to build a home that is ecologically sound apart from being strong, long lasting, and affordable, then steel SIP panel home kits should be your ideal eco-friendly building materials.
However, for the last thirty years, builders have been slow to switch over to sustainable and eco-friendly products in home buildings. And Axios Tampa Bay’s Ben Montgomery puts it as, "Even if a greener product makes financial sense, builders are slow to switch. Nobody wants to go first."
Nevertheless, the pandemic has changed it all, and it's the SIP panel home kits driving the change.
Pandemic and the surge in demand for SIP panel home kits
The pandemic is over, but it has changed the way the construction market functions. First, prices of the traditional construction materials have never been so inflated. Second, there's a shortage of workers and the labor prices continue to soar.
So the builders are eventually resorting to SIP panel home kits as an alternative solution.
But why steel SIP panels, you may ask?
You see, SIP panel home kits are a reliable way to build your home with ease. As, all it takes is a week’s time and some five people to build a house.
Also, the home you build is sturdy and is able to withstand disasters like hurricanes and storms without suffering any damage. Add to this the fact that you can save upto 60 percent in utility bills since steel panels make your home 15 times more airtight.
A pitch for energy-efficient home design
The theme,‘Design for Energy-efficiency’ was the first agenda of the Environmental Design Conference, and herein, panel members Matt Ross, Rick Cartell, and Mike Evans highlighted the need for practical solutions.
Matt Ross from Eco-$mart, in particular, pointed towards innovative products his firm has introduced and how they’re driving a sustainable change.
In fact, the products introduced at the conference, including 100 percent recycled eco-shake roofing shingles, and others, indeed hold the potential to drive a green housing vogue across the country.
