Ener­gy effi­cien­cy isn’t just a trend in archi­tec­ture and con­struc­tion, it’s a require­ment. Archi­tects and con­trac­tors now reg­u­lar­ly imple­ment sus­tain­able meth­ods into their projects, and hous­ing is no excep­tion.

The Oscar goes to…

Two proven areas to remove costs are cor­ners and truss wire.

Get­ting start­ed, the hot and cold ICF expe­ri­ence.

Muse­ums shape how peo­ple inter­act with his­to­ry, art, and knowl­edge — long before they step into the first exhib­it. Lay­out and design choic­es influ­ence not only the vis­i­tor jour­ney but also long-term preser­va­tion, ener­gy use, and oper­a­tional func­tion.

While it’s great news that we’re not cur­rent­ly using more ener­gy to run our homes, the study also ​“rais­es impor­tant con­cerns about mak­ing home ener­gy use more effi­cient.” If American’s time at home con­tin­ues to rise, home effi­cien­cy will need to as well.

In the field of archi­tec­ture and con­struc­tion, inte­grat­ed design is a pow­er­ful solu­tion that tack­les the inef­fi­cien­cies of tra­di­tion­al iso­lat­ed process­es. This approach com­bines dif­fer­ent project ele­ments under a uni­fied vision, and proves par­tic­u­lar­ly effec­tive with Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Forms (ICF) like those from Fox Blocks. By using ICF, the build­ing process becomes more effi­cient and col­lab­o­ra­tive.
