Amvic

If you would like to build a structure that is environmentally friendly and sustainable, Amvic ICF is an excellent building alternative. There are several elements that make Amvic ICF green which are outlined below.
Global warming is a direct result of harmful gas emissions released into the earth’s atmosphere. Amvic ICF structures combine expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation and concrete thermal mass. This highly effective combination of materials minimizes temperature fluctuations by absorbing and storing heat. This equates to an average of approximately 30-50% reduction in energy consumption for heating and cooling, which results in an equivalent reduction in harmful emissions.
Furthermore, Amvic manufacturing centers use steam and cold water to produce ICFs. No CFC’s, HCFC’s, formaldehyde or any chemicals are used in Amvic’s manufacturing process and no off-gassing is present.
Amvic ICF can generate as little as 1% construction waste, which is over 50% less than most competing ICFs. This greatly reduces land filling which produces methane emissions.
Worldwide deforestation adds 1-2 billion metric tons of carbon to the atmosphere annually! In order to protect our atmosphere and ourselves, it is essential to reduce the number of trees we cut down. Every Amvic home saves several trees, which absorb carbon dioxide and give us oxygen.
