Create a Building Envelope with Continuous Insulation Using Insulated Concrete Forms

To ensure a high level of energy efficiency in new residential construction, building standards are now requiring the use of continuous insulation on the outside of a building. Continuous insulation is an uninterrupted layer across all structural members of a wall to eliminate thermal bridging, or heat loss. This white paper, sponsored by Fox Blocks, explores one building system that's gaining ground - insulated concrete forms (ICFs).
