SIP panels aren't going to increase the main stack capacity. Commercial buildings just don't have the capacity for all of the sinks and toilets being used at once. It's a neat idea, and a low voltage lighting system could save a ton of energy, but you still need to gut the building and add critical MEP infrastructure.
