A single NRG masonry unit delivers:
architectural finish exterior,
continuous effective R-22 integral
insulation, and an impact-resistant
masonry surface on the interior.
Available in 8", 10", 12" depths,
NRG gives you the thermal
and moisture performance
typical of cavity walls, at a
considerably lower cost.
When you design/build with
NRG instead of a conventionally
insulated wall, your utility
company sends you a reduced
energy bill that pays for the
cost of the NRG wall.
Upfront, NRG walls can actually
cost less than conventionally
insulated masonry walls.
NRG eliminates the need
for insulation and finishing
materials, and also saves
associated labor costs.
Plus, NRG enables HVAC
system downsizing that
presents further substantial
savings.
NRG's patented design
features "insulated
thermal mass", where
continuous insulation
exterior to thermal mass
produces exceptional
thermal performance.
NRG buildings deliver a
double pay back:
NRG uses less energy,
and NRG can also use less
expensive energy.
NRG's exceptional thermal
lag time allows you to
preheat or precool your
building when utility rates
are lower.
NRG provides people with
summer comfort and winter
warmth for about one third
the cost of conventionally
insulated buildings.
NRG's value increases
as energy prices escalate.
Available in brick-look
half-high and standard
height, NRG conserves money
and energy through passive
means (the golden rule of
energy efficient design).
NRG is the only commercially
available, fully reinforceable
block that meets the ASHRAE
definition of continuous insulation:
"insulation that is continuous
across all structural members
without thermal bridges..." .
NRG currently saves money
and energy in nearly a
hundred buildings, including
big box retail, government,
military, educational, industrial,
US Postal Service, US Border
Patrol, office, single-family
residential, multi-unit condos,
seven-story senior housing,
gymnasiums, refrigerated
warehousing, and
a 10,000 seat arena.
Building science experts
back insulated thermal mass:
The Advanced Energy Design
Guides (co-produced by USGBC,
USDOE, AIA, and ASHRAE)
recognize that insulated
thermal mass produces
the most energy efficient
masonry walls in all
climate zones.
