Architects and Light Construction

Enercept has been the go-to construction solution for a wide range of light commercial projects—from standalone buildings, to strip malls, churches and even very large facilities—like casinos. Architects appreciate the flexibility in design that SIPs offer—tenants appreciate the comfort, low environmental impact and, best of all, reduced costs of operation.

The International Code Council (ICC) was established in 1994 as a non profit organization dedicated to developing a single set of comprehensive and coordinated national model construction codes. The ICC is a merger of Building Officials and Code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA), International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO), and Southern Building Code Congress International, Inc. (SBCCI). These organizations previously developed three separate sets of codes and have now combined creating the International Code Council (ICC) and developing codes without regional limitations.

Going Green with SIPs
Buildings impact both the environment and the people within them. Sustainable or “green” building design and construction is a method of wisely using resources to create high-quality, healthier and more energy-efficient homes and buildings. A focus on ensuring less energy and water use, better indoor air quality and a reduced impact of a building on the site it occupies are all elements of green building.

While LEED® is identified with “going green,” green building has been a hallmark of Enercept’s building practices since 1981. Enercept helps its customers get Net-Zero-Ready with its high-performance products laying the green foundation for your next steps.

"In order to achieve net zero, you have to start with an energy-efficient envelope for your house. The building envelope is key. Panels offer extremely high performance, which is  necessary for a net-zero energy building. Enercept is among the companies that can help consumers get to net zero. Almost every SIPS is net-zero ready by its nature."

– Frank Baker, founding member of the Structural Insulated Panel Association
