Q&A:
Q. What was the major benefit of using Amvic™ ICF over traditional construction methods? Describe how this project maximizes the advantages of ICF construction.
A. “This project prioritizes energy efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness through thoughtful design and materials. Timber overhangs regulate sunlight to reduce cooling and heating costs, while LED lighting enhances efficiency. Permeable surfaces and Precambrian soils aid in filtering runoff contaminants. The building’s height and coursing minimize waste, and ICF construction ensures exceptional energy efficiency, especially in harsh northern Ontario winters.
ICF also enabled year-round construction, reducing build time, while providing fire separation and superior sound insulation for owner comfort. As a result, energy costs are remarkably low at an average of $28.32 per suite per month, and selling prices remain below the regional average.”
