Description: Insulating concrete form (ICF) walls are rapidly gaining popularity in the residential housing market. Initially, ICFs were utilized in high-end homes, but more recently these systems are finding their way into typical residential homes. ICFs, like all wall systems, require special attention to detail to avoid potential moisture problems. Standard guidelines are needed to help less experienced architects and contractors use these systems effectively. A project was performed to investigate the potential for moisture problems associated with ICFs and to develop standard recommendations and guidelines to avoid these problems. This report is also found on DVD021.
