For building designers,
developers, and owners,
NRG is here to help you
navigate the green path
toward net zero.
You already know the first step:
reduce the building energy
load through passive means.
(Without spending an extra dime.)
The Advanced Energy Design
Guides, which recommend cost
effective strategies to reach net
zero, recognize that placing
insulation exterior to thermal
mass creates the most energy
efficient mass walls in all
climate zones.
In one block, NRG's patented
insulated thermal mass
features an impact-resistant
masonry surface on the interior,
then a layer of continuous
effective R-22 integral
EPS insulation exterior
to that, and an architectural
finish for the exterior masonry
surface.
The NRG interior walls stay
comfortably cool in summer
and warm in winter, as the
insulation helps keep the energy
in the building, and holds Mother
Nature at bay.

NRG's insulated thermal mass
eliminates the need for additional
insulation and related labor and
finishing costs. NRG delivers cavity
wall benefits in a single wythe wall.
Plus, NRG enables HVAC system
downsizing that presents further
substantial upfront cost savings.
Available in 8", 10", 12" depths,
NRG gives you the thermal
and moisture performance
typical of cavity walls, at a
considerably lower cost.
NRG buildings deliver a
double pay back:
NRG uses less energy,
and NRG can also use less
expensive energy, as NRG's
exceptional thermal
lag time allows you to
preheat or precool your
building when utility rates
are lower.
NRG buildings can save over
fifty percent on heating and
cooling energy costs, compared
to conventional construction.
NRG's value increases
as energy prices escalate.
Available in brick-look
half-high and standard
height.
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 well over 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.
Thank you for taking a
look at NRG for your
next building project.
NRG is listed on GreenSpec.
