Going Green Made Simple with an ICF Home

The use of Insulating Concrete Forms (ICF) in construction has many benefits for the homeowner, including lower heating and cooling costs, potential health benefits because no CFCs and HCFCs are used, and a quieter home due to the sound barrier that is created. From the out side of this beautiful California style home you would never know this is an ICF structure, but inside you have the piece of mind that you are safe. ICF homes are designed not only to save you more that 50 percent on your heating and cooling costs but to withstand 250 MPH winds. These homes are not only a safe house in inclement weather such as tornados but are also extremely fire resistant. Nothing could be more secure than an ICF home. The heating system for this home is in-floor hydronic (liquid-based) radiant heat. In-floor radiant heat is more efficient than baseboard heating and usually more efficient than forced-air heating because no energy is lost through ducts. The lack of moving air can also be advantageous to people with severe allergies.
