ARE THERE ANY CHANGES TO THE HVAC SYSTEM IN ICF HOMES?
Yes. The most common difference is to use a variable speed air handler. The A/C system not only cools but de-humidifies the air in your home. ICF homes are so energy efficient that the air conditioning may remain off for long periods of time. To avoid short cycling the variable speed air handler runs in a slower, more continuous, and energy efficient mode. This slower cycle not only provides cooling but continuous de-humidification as well.
