Case Study
ACADEMY AT NOLA DUNN
FIRST ALL-ICF SCHOOL IN TEXAS Many T exas schools have incorporated ICF technology into their construction. Up until the construction of the Academy of Nola Dunn, however, Insulated Concrete Forms had mostly been used in classroom wings. But architects took a leap when constructing this high-visibility project, and built the whole school using ICF technology. A few years later, that ICF construction is proving to be a sure-fire winner, providing even better-than-expected energy efficiency results. The energy costs for this ICF school were compared to typical schools—and Nola Dunn came out on top, showing that converting the wall system to ICF resulted in a whopping 31% improvement in efficiency. 01.
