This course introduces Building Designers and other Professionals within the Construction Industry to the foundational principles of designing with Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) while demystifying their use within the built environment. Participants will gain a high-level understanding of ICF systems, including their benefits, applications, and design considerations, with a focus on the three core principles of design-ability, permit-ability, and construct-ability.
