Benefits of the I.C.E. Block™ Building System

The super insulation provided by the I.C.E. Block™ can save as much as 75% on monthly heating/cooling costs. If these costs are $140 per month, they could be cut to only $35.

• The insulation value of an I.C.E. Block™ building has measured as high as R-32 by thermographic test. Equivalent R-values can exceed 50 due to Thermal Mass Performance.
• Heating/cooling system size can be reduced as much as 50%.
• The standard design can withstand sustained winds greater than 160 m.p.h.
• Construction costs can be less than that of wood or concrete block.
• I.C.E. Block™ super insulated concrete eliminates the need for wood in exterior walls except for framing of windows and doors.
• The finishing materials used inside and out can be identical to that used with wood frame and masonry construction.
• I.C.E. Block™ super insulated concrete walls do not support combustion.
• The walls provide superior soundproofing, with a sound transmission class (STC) rating of 48.
• I.C.E. Block™ super insulated concrete can be installed at temperatures down to 0 degrees F.

  The many health benefits to be gained by the use of an air exchanger will be maximized in an I.C.E. Block™ building.
