In an interview for WAFF, Danesh Foroughi speaks to the merits of building with Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF Construction). Scroll to the three minute mark to see what Danesh has to say.
ICF House vs. Wood
If your New Years plans involve constructing a new home for your family you may wish to think of the benifits of ICF vs wood frame.
Building with NUDURA Insulated Concrete Forms provides a variety of benefits over traditional stick frame homes. The need for more efficient and safer homes is important for you and your family. An ICF House vs. Wood from NUDURA will provide greater safety, greater energy efficiency and a healthy home for you and your family. NUDURA provides a concrete wall with varying ICF form thicknesses from 4 inches to 12 inches of concrete to meet any building type. When compared to a typical wood frame wall that is comprised of 2X4’s and bat insulation the advantage of building an icf house vs wood is far superior.

Don’t forget the Value of ICF Construction
Thought of the Day:
“Not only are insulated concrete form structures, stronger, safer, more energy efficient and faster to build, they contribute significantly to a “Greener” building envelope. When you build with ICF’s you will be saving valuable environmental resources. With technological design advances in some brands of ICFs, it allows for minimal waste during the construction process, reducing the amount of waste sent to our landfills.”

Affordable Green – Professional Builders
Affordable green: the four commandments
1. Use land efficiently, preserving as much of the site in its natural state as possible.
2. Create home designs that are attractive and cost- and resource-efficient without looking cheap.
3. Use open plans and other features that give the perception of spaciousness. Find ways to utilize every bit of space.
4. Focus on insulation, high-efficiency HVAC systems, and other green features that reduce the homeowner’s monthly operating costs
The four commandments presented above come from the online article, “4 ways to build green on a budget” published October 20, 2010 on the Professional Builders website. The focus of the article is…”Making homes both green and affordable can be achieved through better land utilization, “right sizing” the footprint, and more efficient HVAC systems.”
