The Build with Strength Coalition, along with partners American Concrete Pumping Association (ACPA) and Insulating Concrete Forms Manufacturing Association (ICFMA), has begun work on a first-of-its-kind project for Habitat for Humanity.
The project consists of nine, Net Zero Ready and insulated concrete form duplexes in Woodland Park, Colorado, and should be completed in 2022. The duplexes, which include 18 homes for families, were designed by Architectural Workshop and engineered by Innovative Engineering to achieve Energy Star and LEED Silver certification.

Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ), Energy Subcommittee Chairman Bobby L. Rush (D-IL), and Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee Chair Diana DeGette (D-CO) wrote to the International Code Council (ICC) today requesting information regarding the integrity of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), which is the basis for building energy codes around the country. The letter follows multiple reports that ICC has an undisclosed written agreement with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), allowing NAHB disproportionate control over the code development process, including the selection of multiple members on ICC committees that draft model building codes.
We are excited to announce the ACPA has joined the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association’s Build With Strength program in their partnership with Habitat for Humanity International. The program will fortify decent, affordable, and sustainable housing across the U.S.
