Reducing Embodied Energy in Masonry Construction
Sustainability and preservation as they pertain to structural engineeringStructural SuStainabilitySTRUCTURE magazineMay 2010 STRUCTURE magazine8 Reducing Embodied Energy in Masonry ConstructionPart 1: Understanding Embodied Energy in MasonryBy Vivian Volz, RA, CSI, CCS, LEED AP and Eric Stovner, , LEED APAs clients and the public grow ever more aware of climate change, design teams are increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of buildings and the materials used to make them. Green design and Construction are no longer the exclusive realm of activists. The construc-tion and operation of buildings actually have a far greater impact on the Energy used in the US than automobile travel, accounting for over half of the Energy used annually. Whether out of concern for greenhouse gas emissions, for conservation of fossil fuels, or for Energy independence, project teams are beginning to share an expectation that they should decrease the total Energy consumed during a building project s life cycle.
The fly ash brick manufacturing process does not use ovens, removing a major source of embodied energy and greenhouse gas emission. ® magazine ... Lower-Impact Fired Clay Brick Recent advances in firing technology have reduced the amount of energy used …
