Effective Strategies to Insulate Block Walls
Improv­ing the insu­la­tion of block walls sig­nif­i­cant­ly enhances ener­gy effi­cien­cy, com­fort, and dura­bil­i­ty in both res­i­den­tial and com­mer­cial spaces. Block walls, often made of con­crete mason­ry units (CMUs), are stur­dy but noto­ri­ous­ly poor at retain­ing heat with­out prop­er insu­la­tion.

10 Green Building Construction Methods
Green build­ing con­struc­tion meth­ods have emerged as options for not only reduc­ing envi­ron­men­tal foot­prints, but also cut­ting down ener­gy expens­es. These meth­ods are based on eco-friend­ly prac­tices and mate­ri­als, and are aimed at pro­mot­ing both envi­ron­men­tal and eco­nom­ic sus­tain­abil­i­ty.
