Taking Advantage of the Green Revolution
Even in the worst construction downturn since the Great Depression, green building is making astronomical gains. Due to their energy-efficiency and incredible durability, no product is better for Green Building than ICFs. Yet there’s still much to be done to maximize the industry’s positioning.
Better, Faster Footings
By Richard Fearn
