Increased energy efficiency in both new and existing construction continues to be a large factor behind the design decisions we make and the materials we choose to integrate into our buildings. Concrete masonry construction can provide a wide range of benefits. This course illustrates how building envelopes constructed with concrete masonry create high-performance buildings that can exceed energy code requirements.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Explain the role of thermal mass in building design, building energy efficiency, and occupant comfort.
  • Discuss the role R-values and U-factors play in the design of energy-efficient building envelopes and code compliance.
  • Examine the design options in concrete masonry construction for compliance with the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).
  • Evaluate strategies to maximize energy performance, including placement of insulation, with concrete masonry systems.

Approximately 1 hour, 15 minutes. Delivered online, at your own pace.
