Construct exterior walls with insulated concrete forms (ICFs) that provide insulation without thermal bridging, as well as air sealing, a drainage plane, and high structural strength.
ICFs provide continuous wall insulation from the roof to the footing with very little thermal bridging
Right – ICFs are being installed to create a continuous air and thermal boundary

Scaffolding is continually raised as courses of foam brick are added so that the pour man can see both sides of the wall during the pour.
Special molded corners provide continuous insulation layer at the corners to improve structural strength and minimize thermal bridging
The ICF consists of foam forms that are held in place with plastic or metal spacers and reinforced with metal rebar
Thermal bridging is eliminated at the rim joist with the use of joist ledgers that are anchored in the wall
Three common ICF wall systems: the flat wall, the waffle wall, and the post-and-beam wall
Utilities are commonly recessed into cutouts in the foam after concrete has been poured
Window and door rough openings in the ICF wall are surrounded with pressure-treated wood
