12 Easy Steps for High-Performance, Healthy Homes
Builders and home­own­ers that fol­low these 12 easy steps for home design and con­struc­tion will cre­ate a high-per­form­ing and healthy home that is com­fort­able and safe.
What is EPS made from?
Poly­styrene is vir­gin mate­r­i­al, man­u­fac­tured from petro­le­um. Poly­styrene beads are expand­ed with steam heat to be up to 40 times their orig­i­nal vol­ume and then the expand­ed beads are mold­ed again by steam heat into 258″ rigid insu­la­tion pan­els to cre­ate a Fox Blocks ICF.

What is a Resilient Home and How to Build One
Con­struct­ing strong homes that endure time and nature is cru­cial in mod­ern build­ing. Resilient homes are cre­at­ed to with­stand harsh weath­er and pro­vide excep­tion­al dura­bil­i­ty and safe­ty for home­own­ers.

MHA INTERPRETIVE CENTER
Net-Zero Muse­um Exem­pli­fies The Sus­tain­able Resilience of the MHA Nation. The MHA Inter­pre­tive Cen­ter is an edu­ca­tion­al muse­um and nature cen­ter owned and gov­erned by the Man­dan Hidat­sa Arikara Nation. Hous­ing some of the most sacred objects and arti­facts of the MHA Nation, the struc­ture includes a large, 80-foot radius wall with an obser­va­tion deck over­look­ing Lake Sakakawea, which was built to align with the Nation’s val­ues and embrace sus­tain­abil­i­ty and respect to the earth.
Is burning EPS toxic?
Test reports con­duct­ed by the Nation­al Research Coun­cil state: The max­i­mum tox­i­c­i­ty index obtained from the com­bus­tion of poly­styrene was of the same order as that of wood.” Fox Blocks ICFs have been test­ed to meet build­ing code require­ments for flame spread rat­ings, smoke devel­op­ment and tox­i­c­i­ty

Innovations in Exterior Wall Construction: What You Need to Know
For gen­er­a­tions, the con­struc­tion of exte­ri­or walls has fol­lowed tra­di­tion­al prac­tices that have pri­mar­i­ly involved wood or steel fram­ing. These meth­ods have been the back­bone of res­i­den­tial and light com­mer­cial con­struc­tion, by pro­vid­ing shel­ter, sta­bil­i­ty, and a cer­tain lev­el of insu­la­tion.

Shear Walls vs. Load Bearing Walls
When con­struct­ing a build­ing, ensur­ing its sta­bil­i­ty and resilience is crit­i­cal. Two essen­tial com­po­nents that play cru­cial roles in build­ing sta­bil­i­ty are shear walls and load bear­ing walls.
