Low energy living.

Living in a high performing home means higher levels of comfort, lower energy bills and lower carbon emissions.

More than any part of your home, the building envelope has the biggest impact on how energy efficient your home will be.

Energy efficiency is effortlessly achieved with the Origin SIP (structural insulated panel) system. With skins of structural sheathing laminated on either side of a rigid foam core the SIP panel is strong, light, and incredibly well insulated.

SIP panels are used in place of traditional framing to enclose your home in a high-performance building envelope protecting you from the elements and ensuring world-class levels of energy efficiency.
