Global warming is a direct result of harmful gas emissions released into the earth's atmosphere. Amvic ICF structures combine expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation and concrete thermal mass. This highly effective combination of materials minimizes temperature fluctuations by absorbing and storing heat.  This equates to an average of approximately 30-50% reduction in energy consumption for heating and cooling, which results in an equivalent reduction in harmful emissions.  

Furthermore, Amvic manufacturing centers use steam and cold water to produce ICFs. No CFC's, HCFC's, formaldehyde or any chemicals are used in Amvic's manufacturing process and no off-gassing is present.
