Energy Conservation

Insulation

  • 30%-70% reduction on HVAC usage.

  • Significantly reduces housing utility costs for residents.

  • Keeps children and elders in a more temperature stable environment even if the island experiences power outages.

  • Reduces carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions contributing to Hawaii’s emissions targets and Sustainable Development Goals.

  • Reduces stress on the energy grid.

  • The insulation of SURF BLOCK comes from the recycled EPS.

  • This waste material is transformed into a building solution that's both energy-efficient and fire-resistant.

  • Once assembled, the ICCF blocks can be filled with concrete and reinforcement steel (rebar) to form a strong and durable framework. This monolithic "post and beam" grid provides a sturdy structure for a wide range of building components.
