How to Measure and Plan for Energy Efficiency in Your Building
As cli­mate change becomes a greater issue, archi­tects are under increas­ing pres­sure to design sus­tain­able, yet high-per­for­mance build­ings. In this blog, we go over some effec­tive strate­gies you can use dur­ing the design process to enhance your building’s ener­gy effi­cien­cy

Constructing an ICF Garage Foundation
A garage is only as strong as the foun­da­tion beneath it. With­out the right plan­ning and con­struc­tion, prob­lems like set­tling, water dam­age, and insta­bil­i­ty can show up over time.

We don’t just work toward improv­ing our own prod­ucts and ser­vices: we want the entire build­ing indus­try to improve. Involve­ment in and lead­er­ship of crit­i­cal orga­ni­za­tions and com­mit­tees ensures we are at the fore­front of pro­vid­ing high-qual­i­ty ben­e­fits for all project stake­hold­ers.
Can I install a 16' garage door and / or large openings in a concrete wall?
Yes, if the fol­low­ing cri­te­ria is avail­able for the design of a con­crete lin­tel (beam) over the open­ing – con­crete lin­tel depth min­i­mum 16″ (400 mm) or more with no point loads. Larg­er open­ings would require an engi­neered design.
