5 – SIP Layout Drawings Learning Objectives  Gain a general understanding of the purpose of panel drawings  Learn how code officials interface with the panel drawings  Identify the different levels of information included in panel drawings  Understand the importance of the review process

5 – SIP Layout Drawings Panel Layout Drawings  SIP version of the architectural drawings  Similar to truss drawings  Created by SIP designer or architect  Independently produced or in-house from the panel provider

5 – SIP Layout Drawings Serves Multiple Purposes  Converts architecture design to SIPs  Allows for SIP-specific review by builder/owner  Allows a P.E. to review and seal drawings  Can be directly converted to CNC  Acts as an installation guide for erecting SIP package

5 – SIP Layout Drawings Submitting for Permit  Manufacturer’s data sheet  Code report  Load design charts  Outline of panel layout  Energy performance data  Energy modeling Vs.  Completed panel layout drawings with P.E. review

5 – SIP Layout Drawings SIP Design  A good SIP designer balances the needs of the engineer, the budget, and the installer  Good SIP layout drawings relay all critical information related to the installation of the SIPs  Buildings are built from the ground up, but should be designed from the roof down  Allow for point loads all the way to the foundation

5 – SIP Layout Drawings When and What to Review  Plan review prior to fabrication of package  Inclusions and exclusions  All area included per quote and contract  Review:  RO’s  Connection details  Dimensions  Overhangs  Roof pitch  Fastening schedule

5 – SIP Layout Drawings Things to Look for  Defined as “By others”  Defined as “field-cut”  Lumber pre-installed vs. shipped loose vs. not provided  Over engineering

5 – SIP Layout Drawings Roof Support Structure  Ridge beams  Purlin beams  Trusses  Rafters  Timber frame

5 – SIP Layout Drawings Ventilation Notes  Verification of required ventilation  Tied to warranty?  Reference ASHRAE standard  Mandate an HRV or ERV strategy  Reference humidity levels and/or requirements
