Green Room Systems
Green Room additions using R-Control® SIPs are used for the exterior insulation envelope of the structure, including roof/ceilings, structural walls and floors.

Are R-Control® SIP's proven structurally in earthquakes and storms?
R-Control® SIPs have exceptional strength to resist Seismic activity and high winds. R-Control® has documentation of homes which used R-Control® SIP’s that 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.

R-Control®SIP structures have also withstood tornados in Tennessee and straight line winds and tree trunks crashing into them in Michigan.

Green Room System Performance using SIPs 4 ½ SIP compared to 4 ½ stick built with fiberglass insulation Whole Room Air Infiltration,Source Oak Ridge National Laboratory Testing(Lower cfm= higher comfort)
The advantages of using SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) are many:

Reduced energy use; By virtue of its solid walls and monolithic construction, over 2000 linear feet of cracks normally found in the walls of the average stick built home are eliminated. Heating and air conditioning costs can be reduced by up to 50% over the life of the home.

Building with structural insulated panels (SIPs) can cut home energy consumption by up to 50%, making it easy to reach Energy Star qualifications with SIP homes.

SIPs provide high density foam insulation consistently and flawlessly, without the voids, gaps, and compression of insulation in stud walls. -Source SIP Association.

Studies done by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) show that when whole wall R-Value is measured, SIPs far outperform wood framed walls.

By eliminating the loss of heating and cooling energy through gaps in the insulation, SIPs dramatically reduce the amount of energy used to heat and cool a home.


GRS offers Green Window Systems with these additional high end features!

AllerGuard 100
This specially-formulated weatherstrip resists and kills allergy-aggravating microparticles of pollen, fungi, mold, mildew and bacteria. It also helps reduce outside noise and infiltration of exterior gases such as carbon monoxide.


LoE3-366 Glass
LoE3-366 is the ultimate performance glass. It delivers the ideal balance of solar control and high visibility. And it provides the highest levels of year-round comfort and energy savings, making it the perfect glass no matter where you live. Cardinal 366 in a triple pane krypton IG offers extremely low SHGC. This type of IG incorporated into the Green Window Systems vinyl window provides unsurpassed U values.
Warm Edge Spacer
The TruWarm® Super Spacer® is the world’s only all-foam, NO-Metal edge seal product that prevents condensation, frosting, and mold growth while providing the highest levels of energy performance.

Green Room Systems™ Complies with:
USGBC - LEED  
The U.S. Green Building Council developed the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ to promote green buildings. R-Control® SIPs have been used in many LEED buildings, including buildings with the highest Platinum rating.
ENERGY STAR®  
R-Control® SIPs are deemed to comply with the program without conduct on-site blower testing.
NAHB Green Building  
The National Association of Home Builders created a building program for use by builders to help advance green building. As part of the NAHB program, R-Control® SIPs are given points for the increased effective R-value for the building envelope.
