Insulated Metal Panel (IMP) Installation Instructions for the Vesta™+ House Kit
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
- This video is to help explain the insulated metal panel, or "IMP", installation process for Ceres structures.
This particular project is the Vesta™ Kit House , but most elements of the installation are the same for Ceres greenhouses as well. The Vesta™ has four inch R-32 wall panels and 6 inch R-38 roof panels. They are finished with 26 gauge metal on the interior of the panel, painted white, and 26 gauge metal on the exterior in the color and texture of your choice. In this video the clients chose our standard mesa panel with a custom exterior color.

BOOMP🎉
Excited to watch this process & build. Thank you for sharing & look forward to seeing what you learn from this first build.
We have a homestead and will be looking to add multiple sustainable homes in the next 5 years. Will keep following you closely & hope this will be a great option for us here in Ohio. And for the future of homes.
Thanks for your supportive comment. And what a grand venture that we hope to contribute to one day!
@@CeresGreenhouseSolutions looking for equivalent of shipping container strength of double PANELS insulated as you have for specific project.
@@CeresGreenhouseSolutionshow much thermal bridging occurs from the exposed lower metal sheet along the eave and overhang?
Do you recommend any type of cuts/breaks before it reaches the interior? Like a 1/8" wide or 1/4" wide cut across the lower metal panel just before it emerges into interior that could be caulked or filled with a rubber or other gasket to prevent what appears to be a VERY LARGE SURFACE AREA OF THERMAL BRIDGING?
Do you have calculations on the expected/projected amount / loss due to thermal bridging in various climates/conditions?
I am impressed with everything that you have shown so far, but that is one significant consideration...
@@1truthseeking8 We do not sell IMPs a la carte unfortunately but our IMP manufacturer is AWIP if you want to check them out yourself
Wish you could get manufactured homes made of IMP panels
That is essentially what the Vesta is! Except it comes with a greenhouse too
How long does it take to build one of these from start to finish???
Not including any sort of permitting time....
Hey, great question! Once the foundation is ready, it should take a crew or 3-4 people about 1 month to build the kit, including framing, windows, doors, insulated metal panels, and greenhouse polycarbonate. This is a completely dried in structure ready for the clients interior finishing to begin.
@@CeresGreenhouseSolutions Whats the rough cost of one of these...not including labor.
@@aerosciencedryfog The base kit of the Vesta costs $269K
@@CeresGreenhouseSolutions Sweet. Thanks
Very cool. Although I'd put all those windows on the north side. Such better light and with a house this insulated and airtight who cares about about solar gain from the south?
Also, weird that you have to do so much on-site trimming and prep of these. With SIPs they're ready to go up. And I'm not a fan of the exterior texture being so bumpy.
Thanks for reaching out. Passive House design is a very specific thing. If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, then yes, you would put all off the windows on the north side. But in the northern hemisphere, north wall windows only lose heat, so the fewer the better.
As for the solar gain from the south, the concept there is that during the winter, we let light into the house which can provide much if not all of the heat the house needs during the day. You comment mentions that it shouldn't matter with a house this insulated, but if you don't allow the solar gain to enter the space, you have to burn some input (wood, gas, or a source that creates electricity) to create that heat, so why not use the sun, its free.
SIPs are great, but they require interior finished, exterior house wrap and siding, while the insulated panels we provide are finished on the exterior and roof, so once they are on they are on. This roof took us 3:15 to install, with a finished exterior metal roof. You can't do that with SIPs. Labor is expensive so speed of install is important with good design.
