This document provides an overview of insulated concrete form (ICF) building technology using Nudura products. It describes the key benefits of ICF construction including energy efficiency, structural stability, sound resistance, speed of construction, and labor savings. It provides details on Nudura's ICF blocks, installation process, code approvals, applications in multi-residential and commercial buildings, and case studies demonstrating cost and energy savings compared to traditional construction.

16. Concrete Placement Concrete placement rate should not exceed 4’ of lift per hour (per ACI 304 and CAN/CSA A23.1 for proper placement of concrete) Factors that affect speed of concrete placement: Slump of concrete Size of aggregate Air temperature Concrete temperature Rebar size and spacing Concrete mix design

17. North American Code Approvals USA ICC-ES: ER-6163 NES NER-663 Various Individual State approvals as applicable CANADA CCMC (NRC – Canada #13063-R) Ontario Ministers Ruling Nudura Corporation is a certified Energy Star Partner and the Nudura ICF block does qualify for LEED Program points.

18. Fire / Flammability Resistance Non-combustible self extinguishing materials Mandatory flame retardant in all foam plastic insulation (bromine) Flame spread 5 Smoke Developed 300 (from UL File R5817(A)) Code dictates all foam plastics be protected with a thermal barrier Exteriors of multi storey buildings must be protected from flame propagation Flame ignition temperature of 698 ° F and self ignition temperature of 806 ° F in accordance with ASTM D1929 Concrete core provides a fire resistance rating of up to 4 hours. (ASTM E119 – CAN/ULC - 101) Code Approvals

19. Structural Stability Greater impact resistance against hurricane and tornado damaging winds and debris. Wall designs with wind loads in excess of 250 MPH. Solid monolithic concrete wall can be designed to meet seismic requirements more easily than concrete block.

20. Benefits of building with NUDURA Speed of construction – 25% - 35% savings in time Manpower – 80% less labor than conventional (CMU) Energy efficiency – 30% - 40% savings Sound transmission – 50 – 52 with 6” cavity and ½” drywall Indoor air quality – molds, mildews, etc. Year long building season Seismic considerations

45. Installation Procedures Continue to apply the membrane using the markings to overlap Note: Top edge of membrane should be protected against elements to prevent any impurities from entering behind membrane (i.e. Apply parge coat for protection). Parge coat should be applied before backfilling occurs
