| IBACOS is sponsored in part by
the United States Department of Energy's Building
America Program, an initiative dedicated to reengineering the
American home for energy efficiency and affordability.
The goals of the Building America program are to:
- Produce homes that use 30% to 50% less energy
- Help home builders reduce construction time and waste by as much as 50%
- Improve builder productivity
- Provide new product opportunities to manufacturers and suppliers
- Implement innovative technologies to save energy and materials
IBACOS helps to achieve these goals by:
- Working with builders to identify potential areas of construction
improvement, cycle time decrease, cost trade-off, waste management, & energy savings.
- Providing builders with tools & resources to implement construction changes
across product lines and throughout divisions.
- Providing builders with in-the-field technical support and in-depth building science training.
- Providing guidelines for building and community development to developers & builders within a community setting.
- Facilitating communications within areas of the industry where communication does
not normally occur, between builders, developers, major manufacturers, & government.
