What are some of the limitations of a building constructed of structural insulated panels (SIP)?

What will be an ideal response?


(i) Because a SIP panel derives its strength from adhesives between OSB panels and foam core, their long-term performance is uncertain. (ii) Because panels do not contain air spaces similar to those in stud walls, chases must be routed in panels during panel fabrication for electrical and other utility pipes. This makes post-construction alterations difficult.
