Abstract
A structural insulated panel system includes a frame having a first and second vertical frame members and top and bottom frame members. First and second siding members are attached to opposite sides of the frame, the frame and the first and second siding members forming a cavity, with an insulation material within the cavity. The first vertical frame member includes recesses having a first depth and the second vertical frame member includes projections having a second depth. A first compressible seal is disposed within the recesses and is compressed by the projections of an adjacent panel upon assembly. A second compressible seal is disposed adjacent to each outside edge of the first or second vertical frame member and is compressed by the other frame member upon assembly. A plurality of voids are formed in at least one of the frame members and filled with the insulation fill material.
