I'm thinking about SIPS, Structural Insulated Panel System. Its probably the future of timber building so I should get on board huh? The disadvantages I can see so far are cost, travel distance from Germany (a major negative form a green point of view) and how it integrates with services - not easy.
Otherwise it offers big spans, thin walls, good fire protection, quick erection and very good thermal performance. It also uses waste materials from the timber industry - OSB. The insulation is one of the most efficeint available.
