Thermal Bridging!!! Comparing ICF and Alternatives

In this video we look at the problem of thermal bridging and the best ways to mitigate this often overlooked problem in building!
We look at a classic example of a home with a thermal bridging on the roof and see the difference from the insulated portions and uninsulated portions of the same roof!
We look at Traditional framing, SIP Panels, and ICF and weight the pros and cons of each.
In traditional framing, we look at advanced framing methods, ZIP R sheathing, and R-19 thermally broken studs as ways to combat thermal bridging.
We look at SIP(Structurally Insulated Panels) and discuss the awesome continuous insulation barrier provided but worry that the current skyrocketing price of OSB will render this product completely unviable right now from a value standpoint.
And as usual we point out that ICF is the best value as it has the continuous insulative properties of SIP, a cost similar to wood, and structural superiority to all other forms of construction!
