The $8.6 million Northside Aztlan Community Center was the first LEED Gold community center in the United States.  Building with ARXX ICFs provided 5 of the available 10 points for energy performance.  The average wall system typically receives 2 - 3 points in this area which further demonstrates the energy efficiency provided by ARXX ICFs.  The total energy savings of this project are documented at 31%.

Another benefit provided by building with ARXX ICF was speed of construction.  Working side by side, the crew erected 382 linear feet (30 ft high) of wall while the masons only built 180 linear feet in the same amount of time.
