IFCFs can better accommodate ‘Healthy Home’ builders because they are pre-finished/clad with AAC.

AAC is considered a wood replacement in many countries because it:

  • Doesn’t warp, rot or off-gas

  • Improves indoor air quality by equalizing moisture and air temperature

  • Meets US building codes (8” AAC blocks)

  • Can be a sustainable way to build energy efficiently (below 20 degrees latitude)

  • Tried and true globally for 98 years

  • Reduces onsite construction costs

  • Accurate factory controlled modular units

  • Durable, disaster resistant

  • Pest resistant

  • Can’t burn

However, in Canada, AAC isn’t insulating enough so the IFCF was developed.

Other reasons to build with IFCF are because they:

  • Can meet higher energy efficiency standards

  • Reduces the amount of concrete used in resilient construction

  • Simpler and quicker to build with

  • Reduces costs of labour and materials

  • Can be reused
