Content Description

High-Performance Building Envelope Designs with Insulating Concrete Forms, 2024
CEU: 0.15 | CEU Code: QL-EN-804010-0725

Insulating concrete form (ICF) products use a cost-effective and robust structural material option (reinforced concrete) to turn a building envelope into a high-performing thermal, moisture, and air enclosure with disaster resistance and built-in compliance with energy code requirements. As a result of ICF performance, building owners can complete a whole structure with ICFs and reinforced concrete, including intermediate suspended floors, rooftops, and multistory designs. This course examines the advancements in ICF technology and discusses the potential contribution of ICFs to supporting improved sustainability and resilience.

Learning Objectives

  • Discuss the environmental impact of buildings and how today's ICF products use concrete, a cost-effective and robust structural material, to create high-performance building envelopes.
  • Discuss how ICF formwork creates structural elements that comply with established criteria for concrete building design and the newest energy code requirements.
  • Summarize the advantages of ICF construction and explain how ICF/concrete walls, floors, and roofs are constructed on-site.
  • Citing research studies, analyze the sustainability, life cycle, and energy performance of the materials that make up an ICF and ICF construction.
  • Refer to case studies to illustrate the efficiency of ICF construction for disaster-resistant building designs.

Faculty BIO

With his ICF construction, testing, and training experience, Douglas Bennion demonstrates both the tried and true techniques and the latest developments in ICFs to builders around the world. He graduated from Western Washington University in 1975, followed by more than 30 years of experience in concrete construction. Douglas currently manages the Quad-Lock Building Systems, Ltd. Training and Technical Services Dept., and holds the position of Senior Training Consultant.

Douglas has conducted hundreds of classroom and on-site trainings with builders, has been a featured speaker at concrete industry forums, and teaches accredited continuing education courses to architects and engineers. He currently chairs a collaborative research effort sponsored by eight ICF manufacturers and the Ready-Mixed Concrete Industry in support of emerging building codes in Canada and the USA. He has been appointed to two national committees who consult with national code agencies and make suggestions for code revisions regarding ICFs.

In 2009, Douglas was awarded status as an 'Accredited Green Roof Professional" from the Green Roofs for Healthy Cities organization in Toronto, ON. He has written numerous technical bulletins for use by ICF installers, architects, and engineers. Much of his work appears in the Quad-Lock Product Manual, and he is featured on the Quad-Lock training video.
