Comparative Building Life-Cycle Performance of Insulating Concrete Forms (ICF) Vs. Wood-Frame Construction Phase I: Energy Performance

ICF construction is an alternative for wood-frame construction for residential buildings which potentially has higher energy performance compared. However, this potential advantage has to be measured and compared. This study compares the energy performance of residential buildings constructed with Insulating Concrete Forms (ICF) to those of conventional wood frame buildings in four cities in three different climate zones.
