The Benefits of Energy Modeling for Concrete Masonry Building Code Compliance (25N-R61)

This program will educate building design professionals, primarily architects and mechanical engineers, on how to use energy modeling to overcome obstacles in building energy code requirements when using single-wythe concrete masonry (CMU) construction. We expect this education will result in an increase in both the number of single-wythe concrete masonry buildings designed and the sales of concrete masonry in the U.S.
