  Not all Building Panels are SIPs
  
  Building panels come in many forms, known as foam-core panels, stress skin panels, nail-base panels, sandwich panels, or curtain panels. Many of these building panels are nonstructural, while some have no insulation and the term "panelized construction" can also include prefab stud walls and other modular forms. Global Building Solutions' SIPs are with self-supporting characteristics providing superior insulating properties to a building.
  
  
  SIP walls are superior to conventional walls in a number of ways. SIPs combine a high insulation R-value with speed and ease of construction. The solid foam core eliminates air movement within the walls and minimizes thermal bridges through wood studs. Together, all these reduce air infiltration, and with proper installation, make a tightly sealed/ easily controlled house. SIPs eliminate the need for vapor barrier and additional insulation.
  
  
  In January 1993, a severe earthquake – hitting 7.2 on the Richter scale – devastated Kobe, a Japanese city of 1.5 million people located southwest of Tokyo, So-called “quake-proof” elevated highways toppled, railways were destroyed, and entire blocks of houses leveled. More than 5,000 died and hundreds of thousands were left homeless. Structural Insulated Panels have exceptional strength to resist typical loads caused by seismic activity and high winds. Six homes that used SIPs components withstood the 7.2-magnitude earthquake in Kobe, Japan in January 1995. These homes were located just miles from the quake's epicenter and stood solidly against the tremendous force of the earthquake.
  Since SIPs developed a reputation as an unusually strong building system, during the 1990s a growing number of Japanese purchased homes with SIPs.
