- Abstract
The article examines the bases for selecting the wall and roof insulation levels of the solar Equinox House built with structural insulated panels (SIPs). It discusses some considerations when deciding the optimal thickness of the walls and roofs including the expected lifetime of the house, energy cost and insulation thickness-related cost. Furthermore, it explores the energy performance of such walls and doors and their ventilation and infiltration characteristics.
