A Zero-Ener­gy Liv­ing Con­cept for a Brighter and Green­er Future. Zero Place is a ground­break­ing devel­op­ment boast­ing zero-ener­gy liv­ing in its four-sto­ry mixed-use build­ing with 46 mul­ti-fam­i­ly units and 8,400 square feet of retail space.

A series of homes were built togeth­er to prove the via­bil­i­ty of ICF con­tribut­ing to afford­able, Net Zero homes.

This guide will help you nav­i­gate through the process of hir­ing and work­ing with an archi­tect to suc­cess­ful­ly design and build the home of your dreams.

As tech­nol­o­gy has advanced, new con­struc­tion meth­ods have emerged. Under­stand­ing the tra­di­tion­al mason­ry vs. wood frame rival­ry sets the stage for why a bet­ter alter­na­tive exists.

The NRM­CA is a mem­ber­ship orga­ni­za­tion for the con­crete indus­try and is a lead­ing indus­try advo­cate that pro­vides infor­ma­tion and updates to its mem­bers about the lat­est tech­niques, mate­ri­als and tech­nolo­gies.

Today, there are many voic­es mak­ing waves in build­ing codes and green/en­er­gy-effi­cient design; none are more impor­tant than the views of local offi­cials that vote on hun­dreds of pro­pos­als to change the Inter­na­tion­al Ener­gy Con­ser­va­tion Code (IECC).

The build­ing fea­tures an impres­sive mix of tall wall ICF, steel, and glaz­ing.

The entire Lego-like ICF wall struc­tures were built in one day, an impres­sive exam­ple of the ease of build­ing with Fox Blocks. Two weeks were saved on over­all build time thanks to Fox Blocks ICF.

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

Fox Blocks con­tributed to a fam­i­ly prop­er­ty along the Fish Riv­er near the Alaba­ma Gulf Coast.
