Why ICF should be used for Passive Homes;

In this video, we're trying to get a conversation started on the benefits of using ICF systems for Passive Home construction.
Following on from a test performed at the CLEB Laboratory in Montreal in 2016 (in which ICF was compared to traditional wood framing in a test to determine heat transfer rates) - we spoke to Kocsis Engineering in Ontario (@kocsis.engineering.inc) for their opinion.
Their letter to us, at the end of this video, is another example of industry leaders and forward-thinkers considering ICF systems to be the future of sustainable and passive construction.

Thanks for watching - stay tuned for the next batch of tutorials and tips, focusing on ICF building practices, tips, tricks and all the rest.

And If there's anything you'd like me to explain further, or cover in another video - please leave me a comment below and I'll get back to you.
