Fox Blocks ICF offered an ener­gy-effi­cient solu­tion for a build­ing full of pres­sur­ized mois­ture because mois­ture does not affect the ICF, even over the long term. Pota­to stor­age is at a con­stant 100% rel­a­tive humid­i­ty and 1.5 cfm pres­sure, which caus­es oth­er forms of con­struc­tion to go through com­plex detail­ing to keep mois­ture out of the wall cav­i­ty.

The chal­lenge for this build was to cre­ate a home that would appeal to a sophis­ti­cat­ed buy­er with fea­tures that an emp­ty nester mov­ing from a larg­er more expan­sive home would enjoy. The result is an ener­gy effi­cient home which cre­ative­ly uses space in an attrac­tive, lux­u­ri­ous, and cost effec­tive way.

Con­struct­ing a new home is a sig­nif­i­cant project filled with deci­sions about aes­thet­ics, func­tion­al­i­ty, and sus­tain­abil­i­ty. For home­own­ers look­ing to merge inno­va­tion with prac­ti­cal­i­ty, there are sev­er­al cool ideas for new home con­struc­tion.

There are three prob­lems with steel frame con­struc­tion that affect the safe­ty, effi­cien­cy, and dura­bil­i­ty of the struc­tures they cre­ate.

High-per­for­mance build­ings also pos­i­tive­ly impact the envi­ron­ment and pro­vide finan­cial ben­e­fits before and after con­struc­tion.

While it may seem that hav­ing to com­ply with con­stant­ly-evolv­ing build­ing codes is just part of doing busi­ness in a mod­ern soci­ety, that’s not real­ly true.
