Multi-Family Dwellings
 
Complaints from occupants about noisy neighbors is a constant problem for many multi-family property managers. If the high STC (sound transmission class) rating was all insulating concrete forms had to offer multi-family structures, they would be worthwhile! But in fact they offer far more to the occupants and building owners alike.

Consider these two possible scenarios:

 

You build an apartment building using
Traditional Construction

You build an apartment building using
Insulating Concrete Forms

Nothing really differentiates you from the several other apartment buildings in the area. Renters are attracted to the many benefits of an ICF building (comfort, quiet, safety) and know they'll recoup in energy savings what extra they pay in rent.
Renters pay 20% - 50% more in heating and cooling bills, making the gas and electric companies very happy. You (instead of the utility company)get the substantial amount of money the renters save on energy; the renters pay no more than they would any way and yet enjoy the luxury of a draft-free, comfortable, and quiet ICF home.
Maintenance costs... well, you know all about those. The durability of solid concrete walls protect your investment and decrease the amount of maintenance required. Tenants learn quickly not to kick a wall when they're angry.
All good things must come to an end. Eventually, your rundown, dilapidated apartment building is torn down (contributing to the billions of tons of annual demolition waste our nation has to put somewhere) and you get to pay for a whole new building to be constructed. The strength and permanence of steel-reinforced concrete significantly lengthens the productive lifespan of your structure. Now that the construction loan is paid off, you're enjoying greater profits than ever.
