At ICF Builders LLC, we specialize in insulating concrete form (ICF) construction. ICF construction offers owners and builders many advantages compared to wood or steel frame walls.
Green Build and Energy Efficiency go hand in hand
Improved Energy Operations. The superior insulation, air tightness, and mass of the walls can reduce the cost of operating HVAC in the building by up to 40%. In addition, ICFs allow the installation of smaller (generally, less expensive) heating and cooling Environmental Facts
As Eco-Block builder our customers enjoy all these benefits:
Reduced energy costs!
Uses recycled materials whenever possible!
Uses no CFCs or HCFCs / Emits no fumes or gasses!
Energy Star Home rating!
Qualifies for Energy-Efficient Mortgages!
Improves indoor air quality (IAQ) !
Reduces mold problems!
Minimizes construction wastes to three percent or less!
ECO-Block is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council and contributes to its LEED program.
LEED
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System, a program of the U.S. Green Building Council, evaluates the total environmental performance of a building over its life cycle. ECO-Block ICFs contribute significantly towards the credits in several LEED certification areas.
The high R-value combined with thermal mass means ICF walls exceed most energy code requirements. If the building is like most buildings, it is using fossil fuel. By reducing the building’s fossil fuel requirements, the ICF plays an important role in reducing the negative environmental impacts associated with fossil fuel use.
ICF Builders is member of the Florida Green Build Coalition. Eco-Block contributes 171 points towards a 200 point Green Built Rating!

Owner's note:
Ecological
ECO-Block is an ecologically sound building system, greatly improving the energy efficiency of the building envelope and the lifespan of the structure. The energy savings alone are incredible — the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system may be scaled back to reap even more savings. This is why ECO-Block structures easily meet the Energy Star criteria set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ECO-Block can help your commercial building project receive credit toward the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED™ certification, which evaluates the total environmental performance of a building over its life cycle.
