Build ICF UK Ltd suppliers & training consultants for advanced insulated concrete forms 1www.BuildICF.co.uk

What is an ICF? Insulated /insulating concrete forms – or permanent shuttering system which is left in place & filled with concrete & reinforcement Initially designed in the 1960’s – a mature market in North America & Europe Made from expanded polystyrene – through a steam process which recycles the energy used in the manufacturing process 80+ ICF’s in the North American market – Nudura is considered a 3 rd generation ICF 2www.BuildICF.co.uk

What to consider with ICF construction Experience of contractor, architect, engineer, planning& building control officers Style, budget & timeline of project Mortgage & insurance options Location of project Sustainability – economic, social & environmental Certifications – EOTA & ETAG 009 – BBA/BRE /CE

Who benefits from using insulated concrete formwork ? Specifiers Developers Occupiers/Homeowners Industry Environment 5www.BuildICF.co.uk

Specifiers A modern method of construction (MMC ) – helping unite existing trades & professionals ultimately looking at the built environment as a system – CPD opportunities Compatible with other building systems – great for extensions and matching existing details & local style – a great variety of finishes available Higher building performance – compiling and surpassing current UK building regulations Flexibility with design – ICF allows a more open concept design capability – lends itself to modern architecture – they also improve the performance of renewable energies, which affects design 6www.BuildICF.co.uk

Developers Material cost reduction – superior structure & insulation in one step Reduced labour Fast construction – wind and watertight quickly Services installed simply – reductions in thermal bridging & leakages Health & safety benefits Reduction in plant & equipment needs 7www.BuildICF.co.uk

Occupiers /Homeowners Affordable – capital purchase & running costs Superior fire resistance – up to 4 x better than timber Superior design capabilities & adaptability – – up to 9x more axial load resistance than a wood framed wall – better in high wind areas ( 250 mph) Superior acoustic performance Increasingly accepted by planners, building control, lenders & insurers Low maintenance costs Healthy & sustainable living environment when combined with HVAC & renewable energy systems 8www.BuildICF.co.uk

Industry More holistic decision making in the building industry – design & process Increased viability of renewable energy sector Fewer & reduced insurance claims – reduction of loss to property after catastrophic events Less risk to public at large – disportionate collapse & health industries (NHS) Paradigm shift in global resource allocation – longer lasting, more robust building envelopes matched with more quickly replaced natural resources for energy 9www.BuildICF.co.uk

Environment High mass for thermal stability – lower energy costs Minimal waste in factory & on site + inclusion of superior construction waste management policies Durable – stable & inert - build it once to last – improves over the lifetime of the structure Safe & monitored manufacturing processes - no VOC emissions, CFC or HCFC’s during or post manufacture Manufactured from 100% recycled or recyclable material – EPS – 98% air Lightweight to transport - with fewer deliveries to site 10www.BuildICF.co.uk
