Embodied Carbon vs Operational Carbon: The ICF Advantage for Operational Carbon Buildings
The envi­ron­men­tal impact of build­ings is a key con­cern in mod­ern con­struc­tion, focus­ing on reduc­ing car­bon emis­sions. A clear under­stand­ing of embod­ied and oper­a­tional car­bon, along with their dif­fer­ences, is essen­tial for sus­tain­able con­struc­tion strate­gies.

How ICF Reduces Production Time and Costs When Building a Movie Theater
ICF con­struc­tion expe­dites the pro­duc­tion of a movie the­ater and reduces labor costs over both wood-frame and CMU con­struc­tion.
Can I leave Fox Blocks forms exposed to ultraviolet rays for an extended period (months)?
Yes, but you will notice a light dust­ing on the sur­face and a yel­low­ing dis­col­oration of the forms. This does not indi­cate any detri­men­tal effects to the ICFs. We do sug­gest, that if the exte­ri­or fin­ish is not going to be installed with­in around a 3 month peri­od or more, the forms be pro­tect­ed from UV rays by installing a tem­po­rary build­ing wrap type mate­r­i­al. The pow­dery film must be removed with soap and water before the appli­ca­tion of a syn­thet­ic stuc­co fin­ish or water­proof­ing mem­brane.

Maximizing Energy Efficiency and Comfort with Insulated Concrete Forms
Ener­gy costs keep climb­ing, mak­ing insu­la­tion ener­gy effi­cien­cy more impor­tant than ever. Build­ings that lose heat in the win­ter and trap it in the sum­mer waste ener­gy and dri­ve up util­i­ty bills.

How to Build a Self-Storage Facility
As urban areas expand and avail­able space becomes lim­it­ed, the need for self-stor­age facil­i­ties is on the rise. Select­ing the right con­struc­tion mate­ri­als is key to ensur­ing a facility’s dura­bil­i­ty, ener­gy effi­cien­cy, and long-term suc­cess.
