LiteForm: Insulated Concrete Forms, Energy Efficient, Safe, Quiet, and Affordable.

		Building Green with Lite-Form Lite-Form ICFs are inherently green, from raw materials to installation. There are no CFCs or HCFCs used in the manufacturing process; 100% of the installation waste is recyclable; and of course almost no wood products are used in our buildings. ICF construction helps minimize energy use and optimize performance. Heating and cooling costs are reduced as much as 50% to 80% when compared to traditional building methods.

		Shipping Efficiency Lite-Form ICF takes pride in shipping efficiency. Lite-Form Technologies developed the living hinge allowing our forms to fold for shipping which allows for 50% more square footage of wall form per truckload compared to other ICFs.

		Materials and Resources Lite-Form ICFs incorporate recycled materials, use locally derived resources and minimize construction waste. Our ICFs improve thermal comfort efficiency by reducing air infiltration from the outside. With local and regional manufacturing facilities, Lite-Form uses less fossil fuels to ship product

		Recycled EPS Components Lite-Form continues to establish new ways to conserve energy while saving the environment. Technological innovations in EPS manufacturing techniques allow for production of 100% recycled eps. This 100% recycled eps is used to produce high-efficiency Lite-Deck Top Hats while maintaining structural integrity. Lite-Form continues to focus on efficiencies for transportation and applications at the jobsite while striving to produce products that are also good for the environment!

LEED Information

When LiteForm® Technologies' ICF products are incorporated into the exterior envelope of a building, the energy efficiency and material properties can help contribute in 4 of the 6 LEED-NC categories. Summarized below are the categories in which LiteForm® ICF's can contribute towards a building certification.

Energy and Atmosphere (EA):
Combined with other components like energy efficient glazing and window units, well insulated roof assemblies, and design strategies like effective solar orientation, Lite-Form® can contribute to a project qualifying for minimum energy performance under EA Prerequisite 2, and for additional credits for energy performance beyond the minimum national and local energy code requirements, under the Optimized Energy Performance category.

Materials and Resources (MR):
Recycled Content of Lite-Form® Lite-Deck® Top Hats are manufactured with 100% Recycled EPS. 80% Post Industrial / 20% Post Consumer. LiteForm® Sheet Foam is manufactured with Recycled EPS (80% Post Industrial / 20% Post Consumer)
Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ): LiteForm® Technologies, incorporated into a project as part of an overall LEED conforming envelope will contribute to reducing air infiltration, reducing temperature swings and minimizing accidental humidification and condensation.

Innovation & Design Process (ID):
The durability of the concrete structure created through the use of LiteForm® Technologies and the inert and inorganic features of the forms help the product contribute to LEED credits under this category.
