Primarily it prevents air leakage through the walls because of its excellent seal. There are no thermal bridges between the two insulation layers since they are put on both the interior and exterior of a structure. There is a considerable decrease in heat loss due to the tightness of the building envelope. In the case of a Passive House, an off-the-shelf ICF system may not be thick enough to insulate the structure adequately. Insulation may not be enough if you reside in a cold environment like Canada or the northern United States. There is good news in that ICF manufacturers like WestPeak ICF have developed systems that can deliver an R-value of up to R-48 in colder locations.Levi Brydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05065640740736174282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1418498126670813334.post-31326190285957199612016-05-18T05:59:15.497-05:002016-05-18T05:59:15.497-05:00A really useful read, thanks for posting.
