Interest in taller wood buildings utilizing cross laminated timber (CLT), nail laminated timber (NLT), and structural glued laminated timber (glulam) is growing rapidly in Canada and the United States. On the west coast, recently completed projects including the 97 foot tall, 6-story Wood Innovation and Design Center (WIDC) in Prince George, BC, the 180 foot tall, 18-story UBC Brock Commons Tallwood House in Vancouver, BC, and the upcoming 12-story Framework project in Portland, OR, have captured the attention of the international construction industry. Several other taller wood buildings are on the horizon and feasibility studies are currently being performed for mass timber buildings over 30 stories in height. Tall wood buildings have been a reality in Europe longer than North America, and there is much to learn from the European experience. However, conditions unique to the North American construction industry create many challenges for the design team in demonstrating the safety, durability, and economics of these buildings, all while forming public perception of wood at taller heights.

2. “Our system,
your solution”
What sets Econekt apart is their industry knowledge which when
partnered with Izodom’s research, development and practical experience
of ICF technology allows one of the most advanced structural systems
on the market to be provided as your standard solution.
The Izodom technology originated in Central Europe over twenty years
ago and has been continually developed to enable it to be recognised as
one of the most technologically advanced ICF systems manufactured
in Europe, with an offering of over one hundred and twenty different
structural elements, allowing simple construction whilst guaranteeing
end results.
Izodom technology has been awarded the following accreditations and
is suitable for use world wide, with projects throughout Central Europe,
Russia, Africa, the UAE, UK and beyond exceeding government regulated
standards in all areas of use.
Build faster, more affordable
housing with Econekt’s unique system.
With over four decades of experience and through partnerships with industry leaders, Econekt are delivering a solution
which provides sustainable structural elements to build durable, environmentally friendly properties, meeting all building
requirements but not costing the earth.
The development of Econekt’s structural system offers a building solution that is virtually air tight, thermally efficient and
reduces not only living and building costs but carbon emissions too. In addition this system offers an affordable way, to
meet current and proposed building requirements whilst allowing Passivhaus standard to be more easily achieved.

3. Technology
Izodom ICF building technology was first developed in the early 1990’s. Since then it has gone through a continual and thorough
development process that now allows recognition as one of the most advanced ICF system on the market today.
The ethos behind the technology is to aid and simplify the construction of low energy and Passivhaus buildings, through the use of
Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF) walling and foundation elements contributing to the construction of over 18,000 houses since
its formation.
Wall elements
Produced in a variety of widths, to improve the u-values, the
wall elements are manufactured from the BASF raw material
of Neopor. This improves the thermal insulating properties
of the elements when compared to EPS. There are over one
hundred walling elements that ensure the onsite build process
is a simple one. A full element brochure is available separately
which demonstrates all on offer.
Raft elements
The passive raft foundation elements are manufactured from
the BASF raw material of Peripor. This not only improves the
thermal performance when compared to EPS of the elements
but also the water absorption rate, making the raft ideal for
low-energy, Passivhaus and basement builds. A full schedule
and install key is provided for all project orders with the raft
elements arriving to site ready for install, ensuring no on site
modification is required.

4. Self Build
Recognised as a straightforward and versatile way for self-builders, whether directly as a self-build or
built as a one-off, the Econekt system is ideally suited for this market. The one off and self-build market
tends to focus more on the running costs and the ability to build low energy or Passivhaus with ease.
The ability to construct an entirely insulated building envelope whilst effortlessly ensuring that thermal
bridges are eliminated and running costs, both during construction or occupancy, are kept to a minimum
makes the Econekt system a natural choice for self-builders.
Passivhaus
Having a system that has been accredited with Passivhaus Ambassador status ensures that building
certified Passivhaus is something that the Econekt system can greatly assist with. With a wall system
that can offer 0.1W/m2K u-value as standard and detailing that ensures thermal bridging is almost
eliminated; building to Passivhaus standards could not be easier.
Basements
Due to the waterproof raw material of the raft, Peripor, and the inherent structural strength of the ICF
walling components, basement construction is an area in which the Econekt system excels. The retaining
strength of the Econekt system allows basement walls to be built in a more efficient and economical
manner than more traditional methods. Aided by the waterproof materials used to manufacture the raft
system allowing cost reductions in the requirement for additional tanking systems.
Social Housing
Through the promotion of the fabric first building ethos the Econekt system has been chosen by a
number of regional housing associations for the structural envelope of a number of developments.
The removal of large quantities of alternate energies ensures the on-going maintenance costs of the
completed build is drastically reduced and offers the tenants a saving in their utility bills due to the high
energy efficiency of the Econekt structure.

5. Our system, your solution
Econekt are at the forefront of Insulated Concrete Formwork
(ICF) construction and development.
Econekt are an innovative construction company focusing
on the supply, distribution and production of sustainable
buildings incorporating Izodom ICF walling and raft foundation
components. By combining these elements along with other
key structural components they are able to provide a complete
structural system that can be utilised across a broad range
of project types, achieving low energy and even Passivhaus
standards with ease.
Econekt work with self-builders, architects and small
residential developers to construct low-energy and Passivhaus
homes throughout the UK – they also work with regional
housing associations supplying key components of the Econekt
system to contractors in the UK.
Through Econekt’s collaboration with industry leaders Econekt
and Izodom have formed a relationship which has led to the
development of Izodom ICF walling elements being the main
structural walling component within Econekt’s structural
system. It is through the formation of this relationship that
Econekt have come to develop, build and distribute the Izodom
technology throughout the UK.
The Izodom ICF walling and raft foundation technology has
been developed in such a way that it aids Econekt’s promotion
of the fabric first building philosophy. This philosophy allows
low-energy and Passivhaus construction as a base standard for
the builder and end user without the requirement for alternative
energy sources. Using construction detailing which almost
eliminates thermal bridging at all major junctions and allows
for air-tightness levels compliant with Passivhaus standards,
Econekt really can be considered the natural, sustainable and
economical choice for your construction project.

Technical Abilities
The Econekt system excels in its areas of use and also with the technical abilities of the system’s key components, and the
advanced nature of the system ensures a simple structural install whilst achieving industry leading standards.
Working with the raft foundation elements it is possible to install an area of up to 300m2 of floor in a single day and achieve a
u-value between 0.08W/m2K – 0.15W/m2K (perimeter to area ratio dependent).
With the walling elements a team can install in excess of 100m2 of wall area, inclusive of the formation of window and door
openings, in one day. This is done whilst achieving u-values of 0.1W/m2K or 0.15W/m2k dependent on the walling element
chosen. In situations where lower u-values are required a custom built element can be created to enable this.
