In an earlier blog about Eco-Block construction, I mentioned some of the incredible features, but failed to mention the “GREEN” building aspects.  By weight, 40% of the insulating concrete forms used for Eco-Block building are from recycled materials.  In an average 2000 square foot home, approximately 47 trees are saved by using Eco-Block. 

Environmental Facts

• Reduces energy costs
• Uses recycled materials whenever possible
• Uses no CFCs or HCFCs / Emits no fumes or gasses
• Energy Star Home rating
• Qualifies for Energy-Efficient Mortgages
• Improves indoor air quality (IAQ)
• Reduces mold problems
• Minimizes construction wastes to three percent or less
• ECO-Block is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council and contributes to its LEED program
