Stuart, FL (October 15, 2009) -- Greenblock Worldwide Corporation, a manufacturer, marketer and installer* of high performance insulated concrete form (ICF) wall systems has announced that they will be exhibiting at the United States Green Building Council's "Greenbuild" Conference and Expo being held November 10-12 at the Phoenix Convention Center in downtown Phoenix (BOOTH # 4431/Hall C). Held annually since 2002, this year's expo hall in Phoenix will feature 1,800 exhibit booths showcasing the latest in sustainable, innovative products and services.

We're looking forward to exhibiting at Greenbuild", says Phoenix-based Paul DeNigris, Southwest Territory Manager for Greenblock.  "We've been building green, sustainable homes and building s for over forty years so this is a pefect venue for us to showcase our products and services", continues DeNigris.

Insulated concrete forms are a 'stay in place' insulated wall forming system made of three primary components; high R-value expanded polystyrene foam, rigid plastic ties and steel-reinforced poured concrete. The use of ICF's began more than a half century ago and is continuing to gain popularity throughout the construction industry. 

Greenblock's commitment to energy saving, sustainable building practices encompasses both residential and commercial structures. As members of the USGBC and NAHB, Greenblock is dedicated to providing green building solutions to builders and developers who desire to minimize the environmental impact of their projects. According to a recent Mc-Graw Hill Construction research report, "today's corporate leaders are already very conscious of using green practices when considering new facilities, and they expect green building to have an increasing impact on the future."

The bulk of a building's environmental footprint is caused by the energy consumed in the heating and cooling of the structure over its lifetime. The high performance thermal envelope provided by Greenblock ICF construction can offer significant contribution towards reducing the energy consumption needed to control the interior climate of the structure. Greenblock homes and buildings continue to save energy and conserve resources throughout their useful life, which for a solid concrete building, is potentially 100 years or more.
