The mass of the concrete core in an ECO-Block™
wall adds significantly to the thermal efficiency of the structure.
The concrete acts as an Energy Reservoir, reducing temperature
cycling (day to night and back again).
Because of their high thermal mass, ECO-Block™
walls provide energy efficiency equivalent to R-40, even as high
as R-50, depending upon your geographical location*.
As a result, the ECO-Block™'s
"high thermal mass" wall system can save a
homeowner up to 50% in heating and cooling costs....year....after

BENEFITS...
Home is Stronger
With walls made of monolithic, steel reinforced
concrete, your home can be made hurricane, tornado and earthquake
resistant
Home is Longer Lasting
No "wood rot"...And concrete
lasts for centuries
Home is Quieter
The insulation on the interior and
exterior with the concrete barrier provides substantial sound
reduction.
Home is Climate Adjusted
An ECO-Block concrete home has a
"high thermal mass", which means that the solid concrete
core acts as a buffer resisting temperature swings. See diagram
on left for more details
