A Home’s Building Blocks
FACT:
Construction of a wood-framed home typically accounts for about 6% of the total energy that home will consume over its lifespan.
FACT:
Homes built with alternative structural systems such as SIPs and ICFs have demonstrated superior performance during weather disasters.
FACT:
Walls created with ICFs have the advantage of a masonry effect, slowing the impact of the sun’s heat during the day and cooling slowly during the evening.
FACT:
New, cement-faced SIPs and ICFs with integral vertical fastening strips make it easy to apply wallboard on interior walls or finish exteriors without furring strips.
