This video cov­ers sev­er­al dif­fer­ent ways to cut the Fox Buck for your next insu­lat­ed con­crete form project.

The build­ing indus­try has seen a rel­a­tive­ly recent trend of archi­tects, design­ers, and home­own­ers mov­ing away from ener­gy con­sump­tive forms of con­struc­tion and the imple­men­ta­tion of more sus­tain­able, less expen­sive con­struc­tion meth­ods.

Ener­gy effi­cien­cy isn’t just a trend in archi­tec­ture and con­struc­tion, it’s a require­ment. Archi­tects and con­trac­tors now reg­u­lar­ly imple­ment sus­tain­able meth­ods into their projects, and hous­ing is no excep­tion.

As green build­ing becomes more com­mon prac­tice, there is a trend towards low­er con­struc­tion costs asso­ci­at­ed with build­ing sus­tain­ably, due to improved tech­nolo­gies and more read­i­ly avail­able envi­ron­men­tal­ly friend­ly build­ing mate­ri­als.

Com­mer­cial con­trac­tors and their clients are show­ing a greater inter­est in design­ing build­ings that can stand strong dur­ing nat­ur­al dis­as­ters. In their quest for for­ti­fied mate­ri­als, more of them are turn­ing to ICF con­struc­tion.

In this white paper, Fox Blocks explore the sci­ence behind cre­at­ing a good ther­mal enve­lope with insu­lat­ed con­crete forms.

Sus­tain­abil­i­ty is rapid­ly gain­ing momen­tum on a glob­al scale. But meet­ing mod­ern sus­tain­abil­i­ty require­ments presents a chal­lenge to con­struc­tion com­pa­nies and build­ing own­ers alike.

Build­ing a home that stands up to severe weath­er and flood­ing is one thing. Design­ing a net zero ener­gy cus­tom home that your clients will love is anoth­er.

Fox Blocks donat­ed Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Forms (ICF) to the Habi­tat For Humanity’s 30^th Annu­al Jim­my and Ros­alynn Carter Work Project. The vol­un­teers and mate­ri­als donat­ed by Fox Blocks will help rebuild the home of Elmer Lamberson’s whose home was lost in Super­storm Sandy.
