Introduction = Zero Impact buildings - Building with Expanded polystyrene (EPS) for the environment

The objective of Company CERAMICHE BERNINI S.r.L by EPS SmartBlockPlus ™ ICF and create awareness in the population that the world of traditional home is no longer adequate in all respects, thermal, acoustic and structural in zone high seismic risk, is argument most innovative and leading the discussion document sought by the designer and manufacturer.
Home, office, public building designed as a building envelope, the containment of heat:
this is the goal of strategies aimed at saving energy in building promoted in recent years with European research institutes based on the rules.
In order to control energy consumption design attention often focuses on reducing heat loss through the jacket and, consequently, on its level of insulation in a building well-insulated heat was provided in an environment by heating is retained and not sold out.
"Passive house" that is the password of designers and architects, planners, and the house is called passive because the sum of contributions of passive solar heating apparatus transmitted from the windows and the heat generated internally by the building occupants and appliances themselves are almost enough to offset losses thermal for housing during the cold season.

Although delayed in Italy affects public and private sectors have started a very interesting journey with the defined goal of sustainability and certainty to build safe and resilient buildings under seismic actions and subject to which great part of the territory.

Also a vital element and to give greater security to the "passive house" hopefully in the choices of advanced manufacturing systems to create a monolithic structure in reinforced concrete and block heat and then consciously address the design by the structural engineers to the highest seismic parameters and then constantly vigilant in the process of construction of the building itself. Shows that up to now this is not and never was put into practice in the construction field in a national resistance, indeed, in this last earthquake occurred in April 2009 in Italy region ABRUZZO devastated by an earthquake due to slippage of a fault surface, deep only one or two kilometres’, which caused a shock not strong at all, but intense enough to completely destroy the houses in the city of AQUILA, ONNA and other neighbouring countries.
The theme is about building without a shadow of doubt, an important and linked sparked by a second consciousness, and the consumption of energy has become one of the essential elements of our society in continuous development, given the substantial and frequent increases in the cost of building management. Building homes monolithic ant seismic able to resist the horizontal and vertical as well as low or even passive today is certainly paying in every respect, both for clients, for designers and builder who do not want to have civil and criminal liability in the light new rules of the COMMUNITY EUROPEAN in terms thermal and seismic hazard. A topic related to energy consumption of buildings is the use of insulation materials such as economic expanded polystyrene with the innovative technologies such as permanent formwork of expanded polystyrene in blocks thermal acoustic EPS SmartBlockPlus ™ ICF and permanent formwork slabs for floor EPS SmartFloorPlus ™ and permanent formwork slabs for attic EPS SmartAtticPlus ™ that let you construct buildings Zero Impact - Zero Energy INTELLIGENT HOUSE EPS SmartHausPlus ™ that guarantees a significant reduction of energy consumption by 60/90% for the winter and the summer.

Energy saving
Even in terms of contribution to energy saving of expanded polystyrene material used to produce the innovative technologies such as permanent insulated formwork of expanded polystyrene in blocks thermal acoustic EPS SmartBlockPlus ™ICF with its composite elements, and permanent formwork slabs insulation for floor EPS SmartFloorPlus ™ and permanent formwork slabs insulation for attic EPS SmartAtticPlus ™, the building system that allows you to construct buildings with a unique performance Zero Impact -Zero Energy INTELLIGENT HOUSES EPS SmartHausPlus ™ that are also eco-efficient. The various groups in the Association in COMMUNITY EUROPEAN of expanded polystyrene are the main promoters and sponsors of the "House 2 litres, which proposes a set of guidelines appropriate to achieve buildings that can use only 2 liters of fuel per year m2 of living space to heat, and light condition. The energy equivalent of only 20 Kw / h / m2, 10/15 times lower than current industry average in Italy (200/300 Kw / h / m2).
Ambitious but achievable through careful design and construction using an innovative system constructive permanent insulated formwork of expanded polystyrene in blocks thermal acoustic EPS SmartBlockPlus ™ ICF with its composite elements, the permanent formwork slabs insulation for floor EPS SmartFloorPlus ™ and permanent formwork slabs insulation for attic EPS SmartAtticPlus ™, the building system to construct buildings to Zero impact -Zero Energy INTELLIGENT HOUSES EPS SmartHausPlus ™ with the use of efficient insulation systems such as windows or PVC waterproofing membranes that provide not only a saving in energy consumption and thus CO2 emissions , but also a range of sustainability in both economic and environmental impact.
The beneficial relationship between quality and price makes the use of products that make up the innovative system constructive permanent insulated formwork of expanded polystyrene in blocks thermal acoustic EPS SmartBlockPlus ™ ICF with its composite elements, the formwork slabs insulation for floor EPS SmartFloorPlus ™ and permanent formwork slabs insulation for floor EPS SmartAtticPlus ™, with exclusive performance and flexibility can be used in many applications and opens new markets with significant potential savings in the cost of energy during production and materials that compose it, the rational exploitation of which would improve competitiveness, create new jobs and improve the impact on the environment.

The formwork for reinforced concrete EPS SmartBlock™ from American ConForm® Industries of partnership Formwork for reinforced concrete EPS SmartBlockPlus™ from Italy CERAMICHE BERNINI S.r.L industries

The Formwork for reinforced concrete EPS SmartBlockPlus™ is one of the most powerful and innovative concepts to arrive in the building materials industry in many years. forms are made of expanded polystyrene (EPS), they are an insulating, stay-in-place formwork for reinforced concrete EPS SmartBlockPlus™ ICF that speeds construction and yields a superior finished wall. In the most basic use of concrete in construction, using formwork for reinforced concrete EPS SmartBlockPlus™ ICF accomplishes in one step what normally requires numerous steps: it simultaneously acts as the forming system for placing concrete, the structural system for above and below grade walls, as superior stay-in-place insulation, sound suppression and as the substrate for exterior and interior finishing materials.
The building process is simple: stack the block, lay rebar, brace the wall and pour concrete. Four-foot lifts are recommended with a 3/8" aggregate at a 6" slump. Jobs go more quickly, with less waste and lower costs.
Formwork for reinforced concrete EPS SmartBlockPlus™ ICF forms is great for forming smooth, plumb walls. However, formwork for reinforced concrete EPS SmartBlockPlus™ ICF special design is also versatile: arches and radius walls, for example, can be designed and built with ease. The only tools required for special designs are a handsaw and tape.
Stuccos, waterproofing, drywall, siding and other finishes can be applied directly to the foam surface, allowing the complete range of design options available with traditional building techniques.
As for the finished structure, formwork for reinforced concrete EPS SmartBlockPlus™ ICF forms combine the strength and safety of concrete walls with the high quality insulation of EPS expanded polystyrene foam, yielding buildings and homes that are safer, sounder and stronger.
And just a word about the environment: Formwork for reinforced concrete EPS SmartBlockPlus™ ICF forms does not utilize CFCs in any step of production. Lumber use (and expense) during construction is dramatically reduced, and any lumber used for bracing can be re-used on other parts of the job. And formwork for reinforced concrete EPS SmartBlockPlus™ ICF forms is non-toxic and inert. Formwork for reinforced concrete EPS SmartBlockPlus ™ forms are not only the safest choice for the environment, but also the smartest choice for builders and homeowners. In short, formwork for reinforced concrete EPS SmartBlockPlus™ means strength, speed and comfort.
