Structural Insulated Panels and Fire Endurance

摘要

Buildings featuring structural insulated panels (SIPs) were conceived in the 1930s; much of the research occurred at the Forest Products Laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin. A model home was constructed on the University of Wisconsin campus in Madison in 1937. The university used this building for various purposes, including as a day care center, until it was removed to make space for a building expansion in 1998.
