This OnDemand Webinar is designed to review the current SIP industry-approved best practices for design and construction with SIPs.
The writer feels that much progress remains to be made in order to more fully realize the promises of higher performance and lower cost that is inherent in the concept of SIP construction. Specifically, much can be and is being done to wean the technology from its structurally conservative roots and remove a great deal of ancillary framing material that is the current norm. SIPs have the potential to be the inspiration of far more dynamic and expressive structures, but need to be seen as the indeterminate structures that they really are. By prudently following some of the procedures presented, designers, architects and engineers will be able to create higher performing and more economical SIP structures. Learning Objectives: •You will be able to discuss design issues. •You will be able to explain economic and design penalties of staying only on the prescriptive path. •You will be able to review "radical" SIP design and construction. •You will be able to discuss necessity for software development.

- Chaleff and Rogers was commissioned by SIPA to design their exhibit for the NAHB annual meetings, which was such a success that it was reused for two subsequent years
- Has been one of the few architect advocates for SIPs designing structures that showcase their unique structural advantages
- SIPA has retained him to run several full-day SIPs workshops jointly sponsored by the A.I.A. for builders, building officials, and architects which were given in cities all over the country
- Written articles for the SIPA newsletter and continues to write articles for the SIP industry that appear on the Internet at SipWeb.com
- Continues to advance and explore the structural possibilities of SIPs seeking to eliminate as much accessory and supplementary framing as possible
- His balloon framing technique has been picked up by many in the field as well as other details that attempt to streamline the assembly and improve the performance SIP buildings
