Energy Efficient Masonry Construction
< BackOne of the most valuable advantages of concrete masonry is the cost savings derived from its capacity to store energy as heat. This unique feature, known as the 'thermal mass effect', allows masonry buildings to be designed with less insulation. Hence, material costs and energy consumption can be reduced, and the comfort of living space is improved.
