NRG Insulated Concrete Block
The World’s Most Energy Efficient Block
NRG Insulated Concrete Block
Winner of New York State
Governor’s Award for Energy Excellence
LEED Compatible
• NRG block provides typical HVAC energy
savings of over 60%, compared to samesize, common block buildings.
Continuous insulated thermal barrier
creates a “building within a building”.
The “building within a building”
creates interior walls with high
insulated thermal mass, which
absorb and store large amounts of
energy.
This increased heat capacity of
the walls, along with the R-22
value of the block , delivers
unparalleled HVAC energy
efficiency.
Thermal Lag Time
Time required for a material to reach a new
constant rate of heat gain or loss.
• NRG block has a long thermal lag time.
• Building interiors stay warm or cool longer,
without adding energy.
• Relative thermal lag times:
NRG Wall:
50 Hours
Standard Block Wall
12 Hours
Conventional Insulated Stud Wall
2 Hours
Insulated Thermal Mass
*
Limits the rate of temperature fluctuation.
*
Reduces peak loading time for heating and cooling.
*
Allows for installation of smaller capacity HVAC
equipment, resulting in immediate savings.
NRG Insulated Block
• Can be produced on existing equipment,
using our molds, by a developer’s
preferred block-manufacturer.
• Sturdy as regular block.
• Fire resistant.
• Moisture and mildew resistant.
• Installs like conventional block.
• Arrives at the job site ready to use.
LOWER
CONSTRUCTION
Lower
Construction Costs
COSTS
NRG block eliminates secondary
steps:
 re-scaffolding
 additional insulation
 exterior/interior finishes.
Construction schedules
are accelerated.
Walls and insulation are complete
when the mason is done, providing
substantial labor savings.
Multiple Finishes
NRG block is made in standard dimensions with any
architectural finish so it can be interspersed with
conventional CMU for ease of construction.
Environmentally Safe
Maximum thermal stability
and environmental safety:
 NRG inserts will hold the required
insulation value and form if moisture is
introduced.
 NRG inserts are non-toxic and contain
no formaldehyde.
 NRG inserts use no
hydro-fluorides during manufacturing.
Reduces Noise
 Sound Transmission Class (STC) of
53+.
 Shuts out street sounds.
 Closes in manufacturing noise.
NRG Insulated Block
• If you can construct an energy efficient,
attractive, and sturdy building for the same
cost as conventional block, why use any
thing else?
• Now available in half-high block, which
looks like brick, but performs like NRG.
Don Reed’s 6800 square foot market, Genesee,
PA. Erected 1994, using NRG insulated block.
Multicolored blocks offer many aesthetic options.
Air conditioners were never installed or needed.
HVAC energy cost is $.31/sq ft annually.
Entire building heating cost less than $200/ month.
Single wall mounted unit heats the market .
Reduced capacity HVAC systems provide
substantial material savings.
NRG insulated block provides quiet building
interiors, even in high traffic locations.
Standard block used to wrap steel safety
columns look identical to NRG block.
Frank Kennedy and Don Reed are pleased
with building’s performance after 15 years.

Don Reed’s HVAC energy savings to date:
$400 / month x 12 months x 15 years = $72,000
No air conditioner needed, saved another $10k.
Total savings of $82,000, plus NRG Insulated Block
produced a secure, quiet, fireproof, maintenance free
building.
Per Square Foot of Wall Savings After 15 Years
Energy and material savings = $82,000
$ 82,000 divided by 5500 sq ft of wall = $14.90/ sq ft of wall
Initial installed cost less than $15 / sq ft of wall in1994.
After 15 years, total cost of wall is recovered.
NRG Insulated Block pays for itself.
Real World Example Number Two:
NRG Insulated Block can save National
Chain $ 51.4 million dollars in ten years.
National Chain construction costs savings estimate:
Steel stud and brick veneer with insulation, $ 26. / sq ft of wall.
NRG Insulated Block , $ 20. / sq ft of wall.
9500 sq ft of wall x $6.00 savings /sq ft = $57,000 savings / store.
60 stores x $ 57k / store = $3.042 million/year
10 year construction savings $30.42 million.
HVAC system savings- uses systems that require about one third th
output as same-sized stores, provides additional savings.
National Chain HVAC Energy Savings Estimates:
NRG estimates that our block will save National Chain
$.53 / sq ft HVAC energy, or $6,360 / store annually,
per 12,000 sq ft store.
National Chain builds 60 stores/ year.
60 stores x $6,360 / store = $381,600 /year energy savings.
Total HVAC energy savings after 5 years =
$5.724 million.
Total HVAC energy savings after 10 years = $20.988 million.
National Chain Total Savings from NRG Block
10 year Construction Cost Savings:
$30.42 million
10 year HVAC Energy Cost Savings: $20.988 million
Lighter Duty HVAC Equipment Savings:
(Yet to be determined.)
Total Energy / Construction Savings: $ 51.408 million
