The Legacy House in Lewis Center, OH was designed by F5 Design/Architects and built by GreenTech Construction. Focusing on green building, the owners chose GreenTech to build their home with the Insulspan Ready-to-Assemble (RTA) system to speed up the construction time of the home. The Legacy House is certified by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) as a Zero Energy Ready Home. It possesses a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index of 17 and has a low .53 air changes per hour at 50 pascals of pressure (.53 ACH50) when measured with a blower door test.

- High-Performance Single-Family Homes Under 3,000 square feet for the Perks Residence built in Garner, NC
- Single Family Homes Over 3,000 square feet for the Dexter Residence built in Dexter, MI
The Perks Residence in Garner, NC was designed by Moonlight Design Studio and built by the owner. With a focus on "aging in place", the owner used SIPs to reduce the size of the home's mechanical systems as well as lower energy costs and reduce maintenance needs. The Perks Residence used Insulspan SIPs for the walls and roof system that were installed by fellow SIPA Member, Panelwrights, and achieved a blower door test result of .83 ACH50.
The Dexter Residence in Dexter, MI was both designed and built by the owner. The owner's family has a history in timber frame construction and they often used Insulspan SIPs in the homes they built.
