Quick Share: ICF vs. Wood Frame for Home Construction

Published by Suzy at 11:32 pm under Green Design, Green News, Uncategorized

Quick Share: This study compares three affordably built homes, the energy consumed and the thermal comfort of each. The ICF-built home used 20% less energy than the stick-built and achieved slightly better thermal comfort ratings for the occupants. This is a fairly significant difference and good news in areas where wood is not as readily available as it is in other areas.
