INSULATED CONCRETE FORMSINSULATED CONCRETE FORMS Innovative, Sustainable & Strategic Opportunities

Ann McLennan

What we do - insulated concrete formwork (ICF)

Our buildings take a systems approach....

much like your body

bones & muscles ......... ICF & eco-concrete

lungs..........................MHVR

skin ..... solar PV collectors & reclaimed/renewable materials

....ICF buildings must be integrated ....partnerships with ancillary

systems are needed and valued

We seek to provide buildings that are...

marketableadaptableaffordablesustainable

unique

...through...

exemplar site considerations & designcutting edge engineering

unique natural element designingsuperior energy efficiency principleswell selected renewable technologies

handcrafted & recycled local materials planned & monitored water & waste control

Designer Covers Mountain House with Recycled Tin Cans in Patagonia

heat can be kept in or out - dependent on global region

think - airtight envelope

Sustainable Construction : Eco/green concrete

Our EPS/ICF products supply the engineered bones of an energy efficient

building with a LCA of +120 yrs

Our Core Product & Service - ICF Wall systems

...otherwise known as ..... Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV)

• Financial appeal – costs are combined for a building material and power generation• Distributed power generation – greater independence and less reliance on centralised fossil fuel power sources• Economies of scale – leverages a large inventory of constructed surface area for renewable power production• Improved real estate values – capitalise on short- and long-term property investment• Easy integration to standard construction practice – can be retrofitted to existing construction or installed new• No independent support structures – minimise system cost - fit on ICF systems easily• Hassle-free operation – low to no maintenance, with no moving parts• Improved aesthetics

We offer our partners ...unique joint venture opportunities that start with ICF

systems training & products...

...and add well designed regionally suitable renewable energies...
