Insulating Concrete Forms
Sustainable Building Practices You Can Use GREEN CHECKLIST DESIGN PHASE
Activity Design building with high-mass ICF walls Economic Benefit • Lower energy costs • Higher occupant satisfaction • Higher resale value • Lower energy costs Sustainable Benefit • High energy efficiency • Higher durability • Superior indoor air quality • Shift thermal center for better use of thermal mass • Better energy efficiency • Improved heat distribution and conservation • Smaller appetite for energy • Longer cycle times • Reduce storm water runoff by 65 to 95% • Enhance thermal performance • Eliminate urban “heat island” • Reduce wood consumption • Reduce wood consumption • Eliminate use of polluting from release agents • Reduced impact of ambient environmental noise levels Environmental Benefit • Reduced carbon footprint • Superior occupant health • Reduced carbon footprint
Specify Quad-Lock R-32
Specify Quad-Deck floors and radiant heat Downsize heating/ cooling equipment to match building performance
• Lower energy costs • Higher occupant satisfaction • Less up-front cost for HVAC • Less ongoing operating costs
• Reduced carbon footprint • Reduced carbon footprint
Specify Quad-Deck roof • Increase service life structure to support of roof membrane green roof materials • Lower energy costs • Smaller impact fees Design in reinforced concrete lintels vs. wood/steel Design building envelope with singleuse, insulating forms made from EPS Design building with high-mass ICF walls, floors and roof as sound attenuation measure Separate units with high-mass ICF demising walls • Lower site insurance • Lower material and installation costs • Lower material and labor costs
• Reduced material and energy consumption • Less contribution to wastewater system • Smaller carbon footprint • Less noise
• Higher occupant satisfaction
• Durability
• Higher occupant • Longer building service satisfaction life • Lower installation costs • Higher level of occupant safety
• Reduced carbon footprint
