The Panel System

Start with the wall. Go as deep as you need.

Get to know the wall, one question at a time. Explore mold and indoor air, insulation, strength, fire protection, and how the panels come together.

Understand your wall

A clear explanation. Then the evidence.

Choose the question that brought you here. Each short walkthrough leads to the existing reports, panel models, or field instructions.
01 / Mold + indoor air

What do the indoor-air observations tell us?

  1. Start with the sampled homes and the conditions recorded on the sampling day.
  2. Compare each indoor result with its outdoor sample or the report’s stated reference—not with an assumed typical house.
  3. Read what a one-time observation can and cannot establish. It is not a mold-proof guarantee.
Walk through the indoor-air evidence
02 / Insulation + R-value

Understand the wall before comparing the numbers.

  1. Explore the framing faces and continuous EPS core in the single-panel models.
  2. Separate the modeled effective wall R-value from the typical-framing performance-equivalent comparison.
  3. Review the assessment’s assumptions before applying its comparison to a whole building.
Walk through thermal performance
03 / Strength + connections

Follow the panel, the connections, and the load path.

  1. Look at the documented panel test setup and what was tested.
  2. Read the supporting engineering opinion alongside the test evidence.
  3. Confirm the exact building, openings, anchors, and connections with the project’s design team.
Walk through structural testing
04 / Fire + foam protection

A material report and a wall rating are different things.

  1. Identify the actual insulation product and its supporting documentation.
  2. Review the required protection as part of the complete proposed assembly.
  3. Keep component data separate from an hourly wall-assembly rating or an in-house demonstration.
Walk through the fire strategy
05 / How panels go together

From a single panel to the standing walls.

  1. Choose IFP, IHP Wood / Wood, or IHP Wood / Metal and explore its single-panel model.
  2. Open the full-house tutorial to follow the assembly sequence. The Wood / Metal page opens the related IHP house.
  3. Use the task-specific field guides alongside the approved construction documents.
