Four additional mid-span posts in dimensional lumber will carry the mid-span loads to the timber structure below.Monday, September 18th 2023 Home Page Close Menu Not shown: the roof SIPS will be supported by purlins done in conventional lumber or LVLs, connecting to the pairs of timber posts at each end. A solar panel array and perhaps a wind turbine will provide the electricity for the mini-split HVAC starting in the second year. There will be an attic space which will accommodate the ducted and ductless mini-split units for summer cooling and back-up heating, and the primary heating will be a high-efficiency wood stove on the main floor. Exterior SIPS walls will have conduit and electrical boxes pre-installed. The interior partition walls will be traditionally stick-framed. The exterior envelope will be SIPS panels for the walls and roof and unusually, SIPS for the above-grade subfloor, which will be supported on helical piles instead of poured concrete (eliminating all of the embodied energy that concrete requires). Photos of progress will be posted in the next week or two.įrame design is complete for a rural residence near Lowell, Michigan. The first structure to be installed is the Test Lab.
