Newcon chose Amvic™ ICF to build a 60,000 sq. ft., six-storey Hampton Inn hotel with durable, energy-efficient wall assemblies. The insulated concrete form system helped crews continue construction through winter while supporting faster installation, sound attenuation, and improved occupant comfort throughout the building. For the owner, the finished hotel offered long-term performance benefits, including reduced operating costs, lower maintenance needs, and a more efficient building envelope.
Q&A:
Q. What was the major benefit of using Amvic™ ICF over traditional construction methods?
A. “Not only were we able to build through the winter and finish ahead of schedule, but ICF also provided noise attenuation which is ideal for hotels and beneficial to the comfort of the occupants. The ICF envelope also helps the owner reduce maintenance and operating costs. The Hampton Inn Ottawa is a rare large ICF footprint in the region. ICF has been developing in the residential space but is now moving to large commercial hospitality projects.”
