Transitioning from standard light frame to a thermal mass wall system in a high performance home will require a higher level of design integration with the mechanical systems. The much higher mass in the ICF wall influences heat transfer through the wall and affects how the heating and cooling system responds to changing outdoor conditions. This is even more important for efficient, low-load homes with efficient heat pump systems in colder climates where the heating and cooling peak loads are significantly different from standard construction. This report analyzes a range of design features and component performance estimates in an effort to select practical, cost-effective solutions for high performance homes in a cold climate.

The idea of this book directly followed the realization of how scarce the information is on the scientific research carried out all over the world on ICFs (Insulating Concrete Forms). These studies were conducted through testing and experimentation and offer scientific evidence on the economic, safety and energetic benefits of the ICF construction system. Therefore, the author of the present book collected, analyzed and catalogued by typology fifty pieces of research that are now available for rapide use and easy consultation. The collective reading of these works shows that ICFs make a construction system with a relevant and internationally consolidated scientific background concerning both the usual performativity and exceptional aspects like explosions and tornadoes. Each summary is followed by a few explicatory lines listing the topic and the references to the author. The volume also presents an introductory part in which the main specifications of the ICF system are described, and a section devoted to the pictures of buildings under construction to better illustrate this construction technology.

Master's Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Art - Architecture / History of Construction, grade: none, University of Minnesota - Twin Cities (College of Design), language: English, abstract: Exterior envelopes for Passive Houses in very cold climates have not been developed, tested, and used as extensively as those in more mild climates such as central Europe. The purpose of this investigation was to push that development further by testing and comparing the performance of a variety of North American and Scandinavian envelope types that have been used in limited numbers for Passive Houses in those regions. A group of eight envelopes were selected and tested with a number of software analyses: Athena life cycle analysis, WUFI hygrothermal modeling, and THERM and EN ISO 6946 2-D U-value calculations for thermal bridging. Finally, the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) was used to confirm that the envelopes met Passive House energy performance requirements in a very cold climate using a basic passive solar house design. Although significant variation was found in the performance of these eight envelope types, almost all of them were found capable of meeting the energy efficiency and thermal bridging requirements of the Passive House certification in a very cold climate, while maintaining moisture safety, durability, and significant life-cycle energy and carbon savings. These findings demonstrate that even in cold climates, a variety of envelope types can be used successfully for certified Passive Houses. Envelope types: 1) Advanced 2x6 framing24” on center with interior cross strapping and exterior insulation, insulated with mineral wool, 2) Advanced 2x6 framing24” on center, insulated with high-density spray polyurethane foam and exterior rigid foam, 3) Double 2x4 stud wall with studs 16” on center, insulated with blown cellulose, 4) I-joist (TJI) balloon framing 24” on center, insulated with blown fiberglass, 5) Insulated concrete form wall (ICF), using integral rigid EPS foam insulation, 6) Concrete block wall, insulated with exterior mineral wool, 7) Massivtre/Structural engineered panel (SEP), insulated with exterior rigid foam, and 8) Structural insulated panel (SIP), using integral EPS rigid foam insulation. For comparison, a base option was also studied: Standard 2x6 framing 16” on center with fiberglass batt insulation. See Appendix for diagrams of each envelope.

Il libro nasce dalla constatazione che vi è scarsa conoscenza delle ricerche scientifiche che sono state svolte - nel mondo - sul sistema costruttivo ICF (Insulating Concrete Form) e che ne dimostrano (nel vero senso della parola, ovvero tramite sperimentazioni) i vantaggi in termini di economicità, sicurezza, risparmio energetico. L’autore ha quindi raccolto gran parte di tali ricerche e le ha analizzate e catalogate per tipologia, offrendo agli utenti una facile consultazione. Nell’insieme esse dimostrano che il sistema costruttivo ICF dispone di un background scientifico davvero importante e ormai consolidato a livello internazionale, non solo su tematiche inerenti i “normali” aspetti prestazionali, ma anche a riguardo di azioni eccezionali, come ad esempio le esplosioni e gli uragani. Ciascuna ricerca è organizzata nel libro mediante una scheda esplicativa che la riassume fornendone i riferimenti autorali e indicazioni sui contenuti. Il volume contiene inoltre una parte introduttiva che illustra in termini generali le caratteristiche del sistema ICF, nonchè una sezione dedicata alle immagini di edifici in corso di costruzione per comprendere a fondo la tecnologia costruttiva.

El libro surge de la observación de que hay poco conocimiento de la investigación científica llevada a cabo en el mundo sobre el sistema de construcción ICF (Insulating Concrete Form) y que demuestra, en el verdadero sentido de la palabra, es decir, a través de la experimentación, sus ventajas en términos de economía, seguridad y ahorro de energía. Por ello, el autor ha recopilado la mayor parte de esta investigación, y la ha analizado y catalogado por tipos, ofreciendo a los usuarios una fácil consulta. Tales estudios muestran en su conjunto que el sistema de construcción ICF se ha establecido sobre una base científica de gran importancia y consolidación internacional, no sólo en cuestiones de funcionamiento «normal», sino también en circunstancias excepcionales, como explosiones y huracanes. Cada investigación se organiza en el libro mediante una página informativa que la resume proporcionando referencias a autores e indicaciones sobre su contenido. El volumen se compone también de una parte introductoria que ilustra en términos generales las características del sistema ICF, así como de una sección dedicada a imágenes de edificios en construcción para comprender plenamente la tecnología.

Pretty Good House provides a framework and set of guidelines for building or renovating a high-performance home that focus on its inhabitants and the environment--but keeps in mind that few people have pockets deep enough to achieve a "perfect" solution. The essential idea is for homeowners to work within their financial and practical constraints both to meet their own needs and do as much for the planet as possible. A Pretty Good House is: * A house that's as small as possible * Simple and durable, but also well designed * Insulated and air-sealed * Above all, it is affordable, healthy, responsible, and resilient.
