Thank you Ren for your link to the Kentucky school winning the award for energy-efficiency - I am glad this manner of construction is not only taking off in Colorado but all over the country. Next stop, Dubai? .-= Peter´s last blog post ..<a href="http://blog.neenan.com/?p=601" rel="nofollow">Forms that Function: Insulating Concrete Forms</a> =-.

I found the article to be insightful, especially since I work in the ICF industry. The progression of ICF construction has advanced, especially with regards to school construction. About 6 years ago, they build Avaton Elementary School with ICF walls, making it one of the most energy efficient schools in the US at 35 Kbtus/sqft/yr. They followed that about 1 1/2 years later with Plano Elementary School which was even more efficient 27 Kbtus/sqft/yr. Since Plano Elementary, ever school in Kentucky are being built with ICF walls. Now they are building Richardsville Elementary School, which will be one of the first net zero energy schools in the US and with a size of 82,000 sqft. More can be read about this here... http://www.greenrightnow.com/wabc/2009/06/22/schools-go-net-zero-in-kentucky-and-win-national-award/ s I thought I would e-mail you about this because of my interest in ICF construction, but also because you are an attorney in Richmond, VA (I live in Charlottesville). St. Anne's Belfield School in Charlottesville is currently building the 1st ICF school in Virginia and is scheduled to open by this Fall (construction of the 105,000 sqft build began in July). My brother is also a partner at Troutman Saunder in Richmond (Robert Angle), so I thought you may find at least some of this of interest. Let me know what you think.

Concrete is a sustainable material and combine this with quality roof insulation, windows plus efficient heating and cooling and you have a substantially green footprint compared to the sexy materials that are short lived and not necessarily efficient over a long period.
