Skip the concrete: steel and EPS basement walls?

unhappyvalley | Posted in Green Building Techniques on

Has anyone heard of or have experience with SICS (Structural Insulated Concrete Systems)? Seems like a potentially attractive alternative to concrete basement walls for walk-out basement (less $$, lower carbon footprint?).  See https://sic-sys.com/foundations/

Any thoughts appreciated.
