tion forms, sister products of Insulspan SIPs, were also used.

“Part of the advantage of Insulspan products is that
they magnify the efficiency of the home,” Whistler Vi-
sion homeowner Richard Wyne says. “Insulspan SIPs
allow us to achieve the airtightness to make the home
and the HVAC system work correctly.”
West House, an energy-efficient laneway home
built by Vancouver’s Smallworks also uses Insulspan
products to ensure a tight building envelope. The 610-
square-foot house, which also boasts a 226-square
foot garage, was showcased at LiveCity Yaletown, Da-
vid Lam Park, one of the two City of Vancouver cele-
bration sites during the 2010 Winter Games.

More than 30,000-square-feet of SIPs were used for the roof of the Cypress Creek Lodge, increasing the structure’s operating efficiency while keeping guests comfortable. NBC needed a warm building in a hurry, and one that could be taken down after the Games. It was a tall order, but the modular nature of SIPs, which come in sizes up to 8 by 24 feet, allowed the walls and roof to be prefabricated, complete with window and door openings, then quickly assembled at the site.
