We are the first ICF company to honestly and accurately show you per section what you can contribute toward using insulating concrete forms. The full LEED v3 ICF Summary is available for you as well.
Don’t expect it to be easy to build to these standards. Don’t expect the points ot be given out either. Each design or structure is unique so its impossible for us to give you specific points for your project. Please consult a LEED AP when designing your project and they will be able to guide you during the early phases of design.
*The total LEED point contribution posted on this website and supporting documents, is a best estimate of maxium point totals based on given public information. The actual LEED contribution may change based on project specifics and should be verified by a LEED Accredited Professional for each project seeking certification.
