Abstract

Two roof panel concepts are presented which are intended to provide a more energy efficient envelope for U.S. homes. The truss core panel is comprised of a structural component and a separate insulating layer. There is no interaction between the structural and thermal performance. The foam integrated panel is comprised of two face sheets and an insulating core. The face sheets are connected with webs and the insulating core contributes to the panel structural performance. Truss core and foam integrated panel designs for three U.S. climate zones and R-5.3 and R-7.0 m 2 K/W are presented. A detailed discussion of the thermal analysis of panel performance is included.
