Anyone heard of Innovida composite sip?  Seems like they are similar to Durasip.  Came across them in looking at affordable earthquake proof homes for Haiti.

InnoVidaPanels™

InnoVida's Fiber-Composite panels are made of a polyurethane insulation foam core that is sandwiched between two composite structural skins bonded together with InnoVidaResin™.

Once the panels are bonded together, with InnoVidaBond™, they are seamless. The closed foam core becomes a monolithic structure that reduces air leakage and thermal bridging through the panels by providing a continuous span of structural and insulating material. The structure also becomes 100 percent waterproof, much like the hull of a boat.

InnoVidaPanels™ make stronger, more energy efficient, cost effective homes and buildings. The superior insulation significantly reduces the amount of energy needed to heat and/or cool the structure and provides excellent noise reduction.

Used for walls, roofs, floors and foundations, InnoVidaPanels™ can be used to build homes, schools, commercial buildings, warehouses - or any type of structure normally built using traditional construction methods and materials. In addition, due to the properties of the components, InnoVida can also produce floating platforms for any type of structure.

InnoVidaPanels™ begin life in one of our factories. The panels are manufactured and then cut by special machinery to the specific measurements of the structure to be built. Our panels can be curved into any shape and, like any other structural material, can be covered with any desired finish (stone, stucco, siding, wallpaper, etc.).

Slenzen,

I could not find the thickness of these panels.  In the FAQ's, the R-value was listed as 6.5.  That almost implies that the panels contain only one inch of polyurethane.  Now if a customer could specify thickness or R-value, then I think we have a contender.

Regarding shipping, I wonder where the factory is located in America.

Thought I saw they have a facility in Miami and one or two in the middle east. They list 2.5" and 4" panels at 5.88 R/inch





Energy Efficiency

* InnoVida FCPs have high tested insulation properties. The R-Value of the Panels is 5.88 per inch with a total tested wall R-value or 14.6 for the 2.5 inch Panel and 23.7 for the 4 inch Panel.
* High insulation properties result in reduced HVAC needs which can produce energy savings up to 40 percent.
* InnoVida promotes the use of ENERGY STAR qualified products which contribute to energy conservation and preserving natural resources.
* InnoVida offers the use of alternative energy in many of its designs with the option to integrate solar panels as an energy source.

Resource and Waste Reduction

* Reduced framing – InnoVida buildings do not require the use of steel, wood or concrete in constructing the envelope.
* Reduced labor demands – One-third faster than conventional building construction.
* Minimal production debris, thus avoidance of environmental contamination and or clean up.
* No need of heavy machinery such as forklifts or cranes.
* Water and sewer access is not needed during construction processes.

Sustainability

* InnoVida FCPs are waterproof and do not provide a food source for algae or mold.
* Low maintenance – FCPs do not provide a living environment for termites or rodents and have a long life span.
* Hurricane resistant - The Wall Panel and Roof Panel were tested and approved for wind speeds above 156 mph.
* High Strength – The Panels are load-bearing allowing for a vertical compression load capacity of 10,000 lbs/sqft and a horizontal compression load capacity of 400 lbs/sqft.

Synergies

* InnoVida fosters relationships with leader organizations in green and sustainable building such as the U.S Green Building Council (USGBC) and ENERGY STAR.
* We follow many of the standards set forth by LEED, the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating System™.

slenzen;

I have looked at their engineering for 2-1/2 walls and 4" roof ..they are limited in length to 8' - 3" on walls and 8' - 0" on roof, they are assemble with "H" splines.

I can send to you if you PM your e mail address
