Ener­gy effi­cien­cy in homes is vital for both eco­nom­ic and envi­ron­men­tal rea­sons, which is why builders have robust tools like the HERS Index and Ener­gy Star rat­ings to gauge and improve the ener­gy per­for­mance of build­ings.

Com­mer­cial ICF con­struc­tion has strict stan­dards, codes, bud­gets and time­lines to fol­low, and mak­ing sure you imple­ment ICFs accu­rate­ly and effi­cient­ly is impor­tant. We com­piled a list of the top ICF FAQs we get to help you feel con­fi­dent in your deci­sion to choose Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Forms for your next project.

Any sus­tain­abil­i­ty con­sul­tant will tell you that a building’s insu­la­tion is a cru­cial part in con­struct­ing an ener­gy-effi­cient, high per­for­mance home.
