Course Description: AEC Daily: General Commercial Buildings with Insulating Concrete Forms (ICFs)
Designing beautiful, sustainable, high-performance buildings can help your structures leave a lasting impression and positive impact. Insulating concrete forms (ICFs) accomplish that while providing innovative design possibilities for single or multistory projects. Learn about the features and advantages of building with ICFs designed as a cost-effective, energy-efficient solution that offers substantial benefits over traditional construction methods.
Describe the material components, types, and properties of an ICF wall assembly and the enhanced envelope performance they can provide, including energy efficiency and seismic, thermal, fire, and sound resistance.
Identify the value proposition, design/construction benefits, and risk mitigation to stakeholders when designing and building with ICFs.
Discuss the features, benefits, and fundamentals of ICF wall assembly as they relate to design/specification integration and applicability for delivering resilient design with high-performance building envelope solutions.
Recognize ICF-compatible systems for waterproofing, flashing, weather-resistive barriers (WRBs), and cladding options for an aesthetically pleasing structure.
