| The EPS foam in a Greenblock ICF provides a stable, consistent R-Value of approximately R-22. When combined with the thermal mass of the concrete and lack of air-infiltration through an ICF wall as well as the proper compliment of windows, doors and HVAC equipment, energy savings of 50-80% are readily achievable. |

|
| Greenblock ICF walls provide protection from forces of nature like hurricanes and tornados. Wind tested to 200 MPH, Greenblock walls protect building occupants from flying debris and projectiles. |

|
| Greenblock ICFs are made with expandable polystyrene (EPS), a material that is 100% recyclable, contains no CFC/HCFC, is non-toxic and does not off-gas after production.
Homes and buildings constructed with ICFs have cleaner indoor air quality and do not foster mold or mildew growth. Building occupants report fewer sick days from colds and allergies. |

|
| Greenblock ICF walls achieve documented Sound Transmission Classifications (STC) of 50 or greater. Outside noise from traffic, airplanes, lawnmowers and leaf blowers is drastically reduced or eliminated all together. |
