But one innovative home construction material that\u2019s increasing in popularity is ICF or Insulated Concrete Forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you invest in an ICF such as Eco Block for your home, it\u2019s important to understand how exactly they\u2019ll work to improve efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are just a few ways ICF\u2019s work to improve your home\u2019s efficiency:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Requires less energy to heat and cool.<\/li><li>Absorbs temperature swings.<\/li><li>Less structural leaks.<\/li><li>Allows for smaller and more cost-effective heaters and air-conditioners.<\/li><li>Longevity of the material.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we\u2019ll take a look at each of these factors that make ICF homes significantly more energy efficient than homes built with \u2018traditional\u2019 materials such as timber, steel and bricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5 Ways Eco Block Is More Energy Efficient Than a Timber Framed House<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>ICFs Require Less Energy for Heating and Cooling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Homes built with ICF walls, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.icfhomes.com\/ult_icf.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">will save up to 60%<\/a>\u00a0to cool than homes built with timber, steel and bricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on where you live in Australia, you may find that you save more on your heating or cooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For colder areas of Australia, you can expect to save more on heating (and be less reliant on reverse cycle heating or gas heating); whereas for hotter areas, the savings on cooling will be more, cutting down the need for power hungry air conditioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The size of your HVAC (Air conditioner) will be reduced in size by at least 60 percent. This means the cost for your overall build will be reduced as well.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>ICFs Absorbs Temperate Swings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ICFs do more than just cut down on energy loss. Because they\u2019re made of heat-absorbing concrete, ICFs are able to retain and smooth out large temperature swings.<br>A great way to think about this is desert climates that can experience significant \u2018swings\u2019 in temperature such as being hot during the day and near-freezing at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an Eco Block home, interior temperatures are more regulated thanks to the ICF walls absorb heat (or excess heat) to create a more stable indoor temperature round the clock.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>ICFs Have Minimal Structural Leaks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people don\u2019t realise how much air &#8216;leaks&#8217; into (and out of) homes built out of timber and steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Infiltration is the leaking of outside air into the building, and it is a bigger source of energy loss than most people think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the contrast, Eco-Block ICF offers a tight-fitting structure with less air leakage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the diagram below shows, it\u2019s 8 in 1 construction means that there\u2019s no \u2018gaps\u2019 for air to escape through the walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eco-block.com.au\/eco\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IFC-8-in-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"936\" height=\"936\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eco-block.com.au\/eco\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IFC-8-in-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3078\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eco-block.com.au\/eco\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IFC-8-in-1.png 936w, https:\/\/www.eco-block.com.au\/eco\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IFC-8-in-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.eco-block.com.au\/eco\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IFC-8-in-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.eco-block.com.au\/eco\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IFC-8-in-1-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Efficiency<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another significant factor of\u00a0ICF-built homes\u00a0is that their energy-efficient design allows for smaller and more cost-effective heaters and air-conditioners \u2013 if you choose to install them in your property (some Eco-Block homeowners have found they didn\u2019t need them at all).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>Longevity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering that ICF homes have concrete exterior walls from the footings to the roof, there is a significant reduction in rot and decay around doors, windows and internal walls that can go undetected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Did you know\u2026 You can secure any wall finish to your Eco-Block ICF walls?
