ICF construction is cost effective and sustainable, and is a superior way to build stronger, quieter, healthier, and more energy-efficient commercial structures. This course explores insulated concrete form (ICF) construction, describing the forms themselves and their construction, performance, and sustainable benefits. Also presented are design guidelines, the installation process, flooring systems, and commercial project applications.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- Describe ICF and its components, identifying how these contribute to durable, secure, energy-efficient, and sustainable commercial buildings.
- Summarize the construction, performance, and sustainable benefits of ICF and how ICF can contribute to LEED® points earned on commercial building projects.
- Explain how involving engineers and architects early in the design process contributes to a safe, structurally sound, cost-efficient building project.
- Describe the ICF installation process and discuss the two critical elements for a successful field installation.
