This course presents information and tools architects and engineers can use to select and design Insulating Concrete Forms (ICFs). ICFs combine the strength and durability of reinforced concrete with the energy efficiency of rigid insulation, providing an ideal solution for multi-family, commercial and institutional applications. The presentation will explore the evolution of ICFs and their growth from single family in the late early 1990s to a mainstream structural system for single story retail to high-rise residential. The presentation will discuss preliminary wall sizing and placement along with structural design considerations including design details and construction inspections.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the attributes of insulating concrete forms and when to select it as the building system for a project.
• Understand the basic design and detailing of Insulating Concrete Forms (ICFs)
• Explore the evolution of ICFs as a structural system for low-, mid-rise applications.
• Understand how ICFs improve occupant safety, fire resistance and noise transmission for office, hospital, school and retail buildings, among others.
