These interlocking, multilayered, preassembled Triangular Structural Insulated Panels (T-SIPs) provide exceptional durability and insulation, ensuring comfort and energy efficiency in even the harshest climates.
The T-SIPs are composed of seven layers that are designed to function together to provide both structural integrity and thermal insulation. Each layer serves a specific purpose in the overall performance of the panel:
Plywood interior wall, 4 mm thick
Vapor barrier film, 0.16 mm thick
Aluminum foil, .1 mm thick
PIR insulation, 100 mm thick
Aluminum foil, .1 mm thick
Ventilation gap, 29 mm
Aluminum composite panel, 4 mm thick
Layers of Performance
Each of the 7 layers is stacked inside a 24mm thick plywood wall module that is fully waterproofed. These components serve the following important functions in the GeoHome’s performance.
4mm Plywood interior wall: Serves as the interior surface of the panel, providing structural rigidity and a finished look inside the building.
24mm Plywood wall module casing: Serves as the walls of the panel, providing structural rigidity, a frame for the insulation and the connecting points to other panels.
Vapor Barrier Film: Acts as a moisture barrier to protect the insulation from condensation or water vapor ingress.
Aluminum Foil: Reflective material used to enhance the thermal performance of the insulation by reflecting radiant heat.
PIR Insulation: A rigid foam insulation core that provides high thermal resistance and reduces heat transfer.
Ventilation Gap: A built-in air space that helps regulate temperature and prevent moisture buildup within the panel.
Aluminum Composite Panel: The outermost layer that provides weatherproofing and a durable exterior finish.
Interlocking Components:
The components of the T-SIPs include the individual materials and the design features that allow them to interlock to each and the floor to form a complete building envelope. Each panel is fabricated to precision to enable a tight, interlocking fit, which contributes to the structural integrity of the geodesic dome. The panel edges include built-in connectors that ensure the panels align and fit securely together during assembly. This interlocking system ensures accurate assembly, minimizes air infiltration, and provides a strong, unified structure.
Vapour and Weather Protection
Vapour and Weather Protection
Moisture Control and Prevention of Mold:
The 29 mm ventilation gap promotes constant air circulation between the layers of the structure, significantly reducing the risk of moisture buildup. This helps prevent mold, mildew, and condensation issues that can arise in poorly ventilated spaces, contributing to a healthier living environment.
Improved Indoor Air Quality:
By allowing the shell to “breathe,” the aerated design maintains better humidity levels inside the dome, which helps create a fresher and more comfortable living or working environment. This is particularly beneficial for those with allergies or respiratory conditions, as it minimizes the likelihood of allergens forming in damp conditions.
Enhanced Thermal Performance:
The ventilation gap also aids in regulating temperature by reducing heat transfer between the interior and exterior walls. This creates a more energy-efficient home, keeping it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, while reducing the need for constant heating or cooling.
Comfort and Durability
Extended Durability of the Structure:
By minimizing moisture accumulation and temperature extremes, the aerated shell helps protect the structural integrity of the geodesic dome over time. This not only enhances the longevity of the materials but also reduces maintenance costs, as fewer repairs or replacements due to water damage are required.
Comfort and Well-being:
Overall, the aerated shell contributes to a more balanced and stable indoor climate. This leads to greater comfort for the occupants, whether they are living, working, or relaxing inside the GeoHome. It also enhances mental well-being by providing a fresh, clean, and pleasant space that promotes relaxation and productivity.
This ventilation gap is an important feature that elevates the GeoHome’s performance, ensuring long-term health benefits and improved energy efficiency.
Geodesic Design
Year-round Use Across North America
The geodesic dome's structure offers exceptional strength and resilience, making it ideal for withstanding harsh weather conditions. The design also promotes superior energy efficiency by evenly distributing heat and reducing energy loss, ensuring a comfortable, sustainable living environment year-round.
Material Efficiency: Geodesic domes use approximately 30-40% less building material than traditional rectangular structures of the same volume, making them cost-effective and sustainable. Their design distributes stress more efficiently, reducing the need for excess materials.
Structural Strength: Domes are incredibly resilient due to their triangular design, which distributes forces evenly across the structure. They can withstand high winds and heavy snow loads, offering stability and durability in extreme conditions. NASA even utilizes dome designs in research for space habitats because of their efficiency and strength in extreme environments like Mars.
