SIPs are the Cornerstone of Green Home Building
Thermocore has proven to be the smart green option for commercial or home building projects across the United States. At Thermocore we help businesses and homeowners reduce their environmental fingerprint by helping them reduce energy consumption. We also help reduce the needless waste that occurs at some building sites.
Green building is not only a mindset at Thermocore but it is built into every process we have and we are constantly looking for ways to help ensure a greener environment for future generations.
- Thermocore holds the highest Energy Star rating
- Our panels have been used in multiple LEED certified projects
- Thermocore provided panels for the construction of the most energy efficient home ever tested by the South Rural Electric Company
Energy Efficiency
Go Easy On Mother Nature With Less Energy Consumption
- According to the EPA, fossil fuel emissions from stationary sources such as electricity generation represent more than 50% of greenhouse gas emissions
- High demand for oil, coal, and natural gas leads to environmentally intrusive mining practices of non-renewable energy sources
- Thermocore builds the most energy efficient home available
- Superior insulation ensures minimal energy consumption with no effect on your lifestyle
- An effortless way to reduce pollution and conserve resources…all while saving money!
Sustainability
What makes Thermocore Structural Insulated Panels a sustainable product? It starts with the raw materials. Thermocore’s non-toxic polyurethane foam sits between a skin of oriented strand boards (OSB), which come from sustainable, fast-growing trees. SIPs in general consume just half the lumber of stick framing, removing the wood that sparks fires and leaving the rest of the trees in the forest.
Thermocore’s sustainable story continues through production with a virtually waste-free manufacturing process. But the biggest benefit of Thermocore SIPs in sustainable home building is the energy efficiency. Because the stud-less, insulated panels hold the temperature no matter what the outside conditions, you’ll consume significantly less energy. In addition, the airtight barrier provided by Thermocore Structural Insulated Panels keeps out toxins and improves indoor air quality.
Thermocore Structural Insulated Panels complete their sustainable life cycle with their longevity. Using the same construction principles found in steel I-beams, Thermocore SIPs are two to three times stronger than today’s stick-built walls. That’s a sustainable product built to last!

Waste Free Construction
Thermocore works hard to consume as few natural resources as possible. At the factory, Thermocore builds Structural Insulated Panels specifically for your design, utilizing CNC machining to ensure your SIPs meet your precise specifications. To further minimize waste, the polyurethane foam core is sprayed inside the OSB skin after it’s cut so that any leftover OSB can be recycled into the next SIPs order.
At the construction site, Thermocore’s custom-made SIPs eliminate the need for wasteful trimming and tweaking. Thermocore has installed entire homes without the need for an on-site dumpster!
Custom Building Means Less Waste
- Panels are built specifically for your design, precisely manufactured, utilizing CNC machining to ensure they meet exact specifications and minimize waste in the factory
- Pre-engineered, custom-built panels produce little to no waste during construction
- Thermocore panels have unparalleled R-value per inch
