AIA-CES ICF-101.6: 1 HSW LU (1 Hour) | 1 PDH | 0.1 CEU In this course, we’ll examine what “resilience” means and how effective planning and application of progressive structural design, practices and building materials—particularly Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF)—can fulfil a two-pronged sustainability objective: improving a building’s energy efficiency while fortifying it against nature’s inevitable hazards.

Learning Objectives 

• Understand emerging risks and opportunities as human and economic losses from disasters increase. 
• Implement the design principals of energy and disaster resilience.
• Identify the advantages of ICF building system in strengthening disaster resiliency and sustainability.
• Recognize the short-term ROI of disaster-resilient ICF construction as well as the long-term benefits in terms of reduced operating, insurance and maintenance costs along with improved occupant health and safety.
