NRG Insulated Block creates insulated
thermal mass.
Science recognizes insulated thermal mass
as the most energy efficient insulation
configuration for mass walls.
NRG's continuous separation between
the interior and the exterior block
portions creates the insulated thermal mass
that other blocks wish they had.
Some rival blocks even show photos of
what looks to be continuous insulation,
while they deceptively hide their
thermal bridges.
How effective is NRG?
It's like having a car that gets
ninety miles per gallon.
NRG buildings typically use about
one third the heating and cooling
energy of conventionally built block
buildings.
Since science is on our side, I do not want to
leave anything out. I propose this: skip around,
come back often, and learn something new each time.

Here are some of the many things to think about:
In large cities like NY, where up to
75% of carbon emissions are produced by buildings, designing with NRG can substantially reduce our carbon footprint.The US block industry accounts for nearly 5 billion units per year.Replacing standard block with NRG block in just 10% of new buildings could save eleven billion dollars over ten years. The NRG value increases as energy prices escalate.NRG technology is a winner of the New York State Governor's Award for Energy Excellence. NRG Philosophy: The most inexpensive energy is energy not used.
NRG Mission: Make a better world, block by block, one building at a time.Consider The NRG Advantages: Rated R-22 in independent lab report, based on DOE approved calculations, but can thermally outperform an R-54 wall in the real world. Click on the NRG vs. Other walls link above.NRG saves money, energy, and construction labor cost. When thermal mass is exposed to the building's interior, the thermal mass works to moderate the interior temperature of the building. NRG adds a layer of insulation on the outside of this thermal mass, which minimizes the exterior influence, and maximizes energy efficiency.NRG block is compatible with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), GBI (Green Buildings Initiative), CHPS (Collaborative for High Performance Schools), and Green Globes. NRG is listed on GreenSpec, a list of environmentally preferable building products whose green credentials have been vetted by a team of green building professionals. NRG walls pay for themselves through energy savings. NRG block provides building interior withhigh insulated thermal mass, which acts as a giant storage battery for energy. The building interior stays warm or cool with minimum energy input. NRG walls have a high heat capacity and long thermal lag time. NRG block can be produced by any block manufacturer, using NRG's patented molds, on existing equipment. NRG patented block consistently delivers HVAC energy savings of over 60%, using US Department of Energy Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Surveys as a comparative baseline. NRG insulated concrete block arrives at the job site ready to use, and lays just like standard block. NRG block is available in many colors and finishes. NRG block is available in a half-high block, which is virtually indistinguishable from brick. NRG block saves labor and material costs; when the mason lays the wall, the wall is finished. NRG block saves money up front, since it allows for smaller capacity HVAC systems. NRG block is compatible with conventional fasteners. NRG block is non-combustible. NRG 10" and 12" blocks have a 4 hour fire rating. NRG block can be vertically and horizontally reinforced without modifications. NRG block has superior noise reduction properties. (STC 53) NRG block is the world's most energy efficient block. 'This website is recommended by Abacus Construction Index' 'Abacus Construction Index http://www.construction-index.com '
