What thermal efficiency results will I achieve with Amvic ICF?
A – R-Value is a term given to the property of any material to “resist” the conduction of heat. R-Value as a property is legitimate. The functional design of the laboratory determination of this property, relative to commercial insulation and building materials, is flawed at a fundamental level since performance predictions using heat transfer calculations based on tested and published R-values alone do not accurately predict real-world performance. Amvic ICF alone has an R-Value of 22; however, when the mass and thermal efficiency of the concrete core is taken into account, Amvic ICF can achieve a thermal efficiency equivalent to R-50 depending on the size of the core.
