Insulating Construction Panels, Systems and Methods

A fire proof construction panel for constructing a single or multi-thickness concrete form, the panel comprising:

• regularly spaced coplanar passages extending completely through the panel from a top end of the panel toward and through to a bottom end of the panel;
• for each of the regularly spaced coplanar passages, an angular passage perpendicularly intersecting each coplanar passage at the top end and extending toward and through a front side and a portion of a rear side surface of a rear side of the panel, each angular passage extending only partially through the panel from the top end toward the bottom end;
• and
• for each of the regularly spaced coplanar passages, an angular passage perpendicularly intersecting each coplanar passage at the bottom end and extending toward and through the front side and a portion of the rear side surface of rear side of the panel, each angular passage extending only partially through the panel from the bottom end toward the top end.

A concrete form system comprising:

• a plurality of construction panels;
• an insertable tie for interconnecting the plurality of construction panels;
• and
• a flat-shaped molding for interlocking one or more of the plurality of construction panels.
