The Thermal Performance of ICF Wall Systems
By Micah Garrett
New research sponsored by the ICFMA now gives scientific evidence for what ICF proponents have known, but have been unable to quantify. Wall assemblies were tested under ASTM C-1363.
Project Profile: The Pinnacle
This zero-energy, off-grid capable home in Ontario, Canada, is incredibly efficient, and features a number of innovative technologies including radiant heat and steel pan decking.
ICFs and the Passive House Movement
The number of certified passive buildings in North America has increased dramatically. This story looks at how ICFs fit into that trend, and spotlights two examples.
Case Study: Morehead House
The result of a decade of research, this Minnesota passive house features ICF walls.
Case Study: The Iowa Nest
By Carl Sterner
This earth-sheltered home in Iowa uses only two percent of the energy a normal house would consume. ICF walls and roof were a key component to achieving passive house standards.
Project Profile: Jennings Creek Elementary
The latest ICF school in Kentucky is also the most efficient, surpassing the standard set a few years ago by the net-zero Richardsville Elementary. With both schools, ICFs are a major part of that success.

While insulated concrete forms are an ideal solution for foundations and basements, there is a misnomer that they are only utilized for those below-grade conditions. In fact, ICFs can be used above-grade all the way to the roof to enhance their insulation and durability benefits to the end-user. www.icfmag.com/.../from-the-icfma-icfs-for.../
The MAC Federal Credit Union in Wasilla, Alaska, is a prime example of how insulated concrete forms can be used to create a beautiful, energy-efficient, and resilient building. Completed in July 2021, the project was the Light Commercial 2nd runner up and People’s Choice Winner in the 2023 ICF Builder Awards. Read more here: www.icfmag.com/2023/01/mac-federal-credit-union/
Roughly estimating, well over 30 million square feet of ICF walls are filled with concrete annually. Voids are rare, and with proper procedures and training, can be eliminated altogether. Read more here: buff.ly/3Vwv4L0
