Energy-Efficient Construction:
Energy-Efficient Concrete Construction is one of the most efficient ways to begin "going green". Concrete buildings have exceptional advantages in energy efficiency, due to their properties of stable building temperature and low air infiltration. As a result, concrete buildings are easier and cheaper to heat and cool than traditionally-constructed buildings.
For new construction, building with concrete Tilt-Wall Construction is one of the most efficient ways to begin "going green" and these concrete buildings have exceptional insulating and wind resistant properties to provide the highest in energy-saving advantages - as well as fire retardant properties and in some cases, significant insurance savings! With rising energy costs and the desire to reduce personal and corporate impact on the environment (ones "carbon footprint") has given a lift to the industry of Tilt-Wall construction.
Concrete tilt-up panels have been used for years in the construction of warehouses, office buildings and manufacturing facilities. Their owners have benefited from the speed and lower costs of tilt-up construction, as well as, in many instances, lower lending and insurance rates. Tilt-wall construction offers excellent uniformity in building temperature with its inherent high R insulation rating. This ultimately reduces the energy required to heat and cool the building.

Concrete homes are known for their durability and cost-saving features. With ICF construction, homeowners are finding that they can design their new concrete home to look just like a wood-frame house, but they reap many added benefits by choosing to build with concrete instead.
Concrete home construction reduces the homeowners heating and cooling costs and virtually eliminates the fear of being caught in the path of a major hurricane. ICF homes are built using easy to erect and stay in place forms made of high-density plastic foam and is filled with fresh concrete and steel reinforcement rods to creat a super-insulated thermal airtight sandwich wall that is quiet as well as fire and strong wind resistant.
The interior and exterior walls of an ICF constructed home can be finished with most standard materials that are found on wood frame homes and the styles range from Victorian to Colonial to ultra-contemporary. It is very hard to distinguish between a wood frame home and a concrete home and ICF custom homes are being built in large numbers in areas vulnerable to devastating hurricanes and tornadoes.
