NRMCA has launched a new course titled Greater Heights and Innovative Aesthetics: A New Generation of ICF Buildings at Hanley Wood University. Insulated concrete forms (ICF) have been in use in North America since the 1960s. First known as “Foam Form,” contemporary ICF combines reinforced concrete with expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation to create walls that meet or exceed code as it relates to fire and extreme weather events. ICFs also offer superior noise mitigation and energy efficiency. This course will examine the performance characteristics of ICF as well as case studies that demonstrate its uses in commercial, industrial, residential and institutional settings.
