SIP Panels
SIP Panels (Structural Insulated Panels) are modern building materials used in prefabricated construction. Think of them as super-efficient 'sandwich' walls that come pre-made: they have insulation in the middle with strong outer layers on each side. Buildings made with these panels go up much faster than traditional construction because large sections arrive ready to install. They're popular in eco-friendly construction because they keep buildings very well insulated, which saves energy. When you see this term in resumes, it usually indicates experience with modern, energy-efficient construction methods.
