The Structure

The Structure

Your home is your fortress – no, really, it’s built that way.

Building with ICF - insulated concrete formsThe exterior structure of a Green Home home is solid, continuous Insulated Concrete forms (ICF) – from the footing right through to the roof. Some of the benefits of this revolutionary building material include:

  • An air-tight building envelope with nearly triple the R-Value performance level of a
    conventional home. Airtight homes are critical to energy efficiency. An airtight home allows for
    a greater level of interior air quality control.
  • A minimum R (insulation) value of R27. Conventional materials provide a base R value of
    between 4.7 and 11. This means that your home will cost less to heat in the winter as well as
    staying cool all summer long.
  • The use of sunlight and shade for heating and cooling is as old as mankind, but today there are
    home plans and building materials specifically designed to maximize energy efficiency and
    Promoting a healthy indoor air environment.

We are committed to innovative design that makes life better for our homeowners. We design to save
energy, save money and provide a better living environment. Green homes can be both beautiful and
comfortable. Learn More about ICF.
