Sustainable Sites
Masonry jobs are capable of adapting to challenging building sites and minimizing site disruption. Masonry has low requirements for staging and construction which helps to protect on-site and neighboring habitat.
Energy and Atmosphere
Optimize energy performance of a building through passive solar design by taking advantage of the thermal storage capacity of CMU walls.
Materials and Resources
Durable building envelope, long life cycle and low maintenance cost make concrete masonry buildings ideal for refurbishing and updating while maintaining its concrete masonry exterior.
Indoor Environmental Quality
Acoustic performance, thermal comfort and mold prevention are areas where concrete masonry buildings excel.
Material Efficiency and Structural Performance
CMU buildings are some of the oldest buildings on the planet. Architects have an array of integral colors, textures and modular designs to choose from, while engineers take advantage of structural and seismic performance, low life cycle cost and design efficiency.
