Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insulating concrete forms (ICFs) are hollow blocks, planks, or panels made from rigid foam plastic insulation or from composites of cement and other mateterals and which have the ability to act as forms for cast-in-place concrete walls. While gaining in popularity as an alternative to light-frame construction, the lack of consistent and comprehensive standards has prevented ICF systems from reaching their full potential among builders and officials who may be unfamiliar with this construction technique.

Book Synopsis Pretty Good House by : Michael Maines
Download or read book Pretty Good House written by Michael Maines and published by Taunton Press. This book was released on 2022-05-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pretty Good House provides a framework and set of guidelines for building or renovating a high-performance home that focus on its inhabitants and the environment--but keeps in mind that few people have pockets deep enough to achieve a "perfect" solution. The essential idea is for homeowners to work within their financial and practical constraints both to meet their own needs and do as much for the planet as possible. A Pretty Good House is: * A house that's as small as possible * Simple and durable, but also well designed * Insulated and air-sealed * Above all, it is affordable, healthy, responsible, and resilient.

Book Synopsis Use of Insulating Concrete Forms in Residential Housing Construction by : Dan C. Lewis
Download or read book Use of Insulating Concrete Forms in Residential Housing Construction written by Dan C. Lewis and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) represents a viable alternative construction method to conventional wood framing in today's residential housing marketplace. The Partnership for Advancing Housing Technology, a joint Government-private venture, will further propel the advancement of ICF construction. The National Evaluation Service is currently standardizing the ICF industry building requirements for inclusion in model building codes. There are three types of ICF building units and four types of foam, each with different properties and structural design requirements. Many of ICF material properties provide advantages over wood frame construction, notably in better insulation R-values, fire resistance, sound reduction, air infiltration, consistency of insulation, and strength and durability against severe storms. The cost to build ICF foundations and exterior walls is double the cost of wood frame construction, but overall ICF housing prices are 2-4% more than similar wood frame houses. Homes constructed from ICFs use less energy and therefore will save the owner in energy costs. An analysis of energy savings in cold, moderate, and warm climates and a basic economic analysis can be performed to determine the relationships between the location, energy cost savings, and the added purchase expense. A fairly new industry, the Internet provides a lot of data for ICFs and related construction technologies.
Book Synopsis Building safety, efficiency and cost savings by : Cristian Angeli
Download or read book Building safety, efficiency and cost savings written by Cristian Angeli and published by Youcanprint. This book was released on 2020-05-27 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of this book directly followed the realization of how scarce the information is on the scientific research carried out all over the world on ICFs (Insulating Concrete Forms). These studies were conducted through testing and experimentation and offer scientific evidence on the economic, safety and energetic benefits of the ICF construction system. Therefore, the author of the present book collected, analyzed and catalogued by typology fifty pieces of research that are now available for rapide use and easy consultation. The collective reading of these works shows that ICFs make a construction system with a relevant and internationally consolidated scientific background concerning both the usual performativity and exceptional aspects like explosions and tornadoes. Each summary is followed by a few explicatory lines listing the topic and the references to the author. The volume also presents an introductory part in which the main specifications of the ICF system are described, and a section devoted to the pictures of buildings under construction to better illustrate this construction technology.
