Using This Catalog


Within this Thermal Catalog, there are various insulation materials and installation methods. While there are many
options presented, the Catalog is intended to provide representative examples of typical concrete masonry assemblies, and is not an exhaustive list of all options available.
Each different type of insulation material and installation/application has inherent advantages and disadvantages.
For example, insulation placed on the interior side of the concrete masonry assembly (so that the mass wall is not
in direct contact with the interior environment) reduces the benefits of thermal mass. Some insulation materials are
susceptible to degradation due to exposure to moisture and other environmental conditions and can only be used in
limited applications. Some insulation materials cannot be left exposed due to an increased risk of fire or the release
of toxic fumes when burned. Also, different insulation strategies will have different costs associated with the material as well as the method of installation.
Users of this Catalog are encouraged to consider all relevant factors when choosing an insulation type and installation method to help ensure the maximum benefit and return on investment is obtained for each unique project.
This Thermal Catalog provides calculated thermal resistance/conductance for various types of concrete masonry
assemblies. These values represent the most state-of-the-art calculation methods, material thermal properties, and
ASHRAE stated values and requirements. These values are supported by current energy codes and standards and are
intended to create consistency in thermal calculations and presented values for concrete masonry assemblies.
In this energy- and sustainability-driven construction market, there are many different stated values for thermal
performance. Some of these claims may be based on antiquated test methods, modified test procedures, and other
assumptions not supported by current energy codes and standards. This Catalog provides consistent, code-recognized assumptions and calculation methods for concrete masonry assemblies and are to be considered the standard
practice for the concrete masonry industry for the determination of thermal performance of concrete masonry assemblies until such time as they are subsequently revised or updated to reflect new research, building code requirements,
or standardized modeling techniques.
One non-standard method of characterizing thermal performance of mass wall systems is effective R-value, also
referred to as the dynamic or equivalent R-value. The effective R-value can be determined in many different
ways, but is essentially an adjusted R-value to take into account various properties (such as thermal mass or air tightness) that are not directly accounted for with steady-state R-values. Different effective values for different systems
can only be compared if all the variables considered when determining the effective R-value (climate zone, building orientation and use, and location of insulation, to name a few) are the same. It is important to understand that
effective R-values of mass wall systems cannot be used to determine compliance with energy codes. Building
codes and standards already take into account the thermal mass benefits of mass wall construction by requiring smaller steady-state R-values for mass walls than corresponding light frame construction. Using effective
R-values for demonstrating code compliance of mass wall systems would be the equivalent of taking credit
for mass twice. The values provided in this catalog are steady-state R-values, not effective R-values. Additional
discussion on this topic can be found in the article The Effectiveness of Effective R-Value by Maribeth Bradfield,
published in Masonry Edge/The Story Pole Magazine (Vol. 6, No. 3, 2011).

Introduction
Todays buildings are being designed in a changing envi-

ronment with regard to energy efficiency. From a recent


past of very basic energy requirements, a new generation
of energy codes has evolved, as have more comprehensive
programs that include building energy efficiency as only
part of the larger design goals and objectives.
Masonry can provide significant benefits to modern
energy codes and sustainable design practices. In addition
to its energy efficiency, concrete masonry is a locallyproduced, natural material that is durable and long-lived,
minimizing the need for repair or replacement. Concrete
masonry can incorporate recycled materials, and can
itself be reused or recycled at the end of its life. Various
architectural finishes are available that can eliminate the
need for paint or other coatings, the addition of which
can impair indoor air quality and contribute to long-term
maintenance needs.
Whether your building project is being designed to
maximize sustainability or to meet the current energy code
requirements as economically as possible, concrete masonry construction can fulfill the projects energy efficiency
requirements, while also providing superior structural
capacity, durability, and resistance to fire, sound transmission, insects and mold.

1. Concrete Masonry Thermal


Performance

Approximate Energy Use of Building Envelope, Btu/ft2

Although this catalog presents a compendium of concrete


masonry assembly R-values, it is important to note that Rvalues alone do not fully describe the thermal performance
of a concrete masonry assembly. Concrete masonrys
thermal performance depends on its steady-state thermal
characteristics (described by R-value or U-factor) as well
as the thermal mass (heat capacity) characteristics of the
assembly. The steady state and mass performance are
influenced by the size, type, and configuation of masonry
unit, type and location of insulation, finish materials,
density of masonry, climate, and building orientation and
exposure conditions.

Wall R-Value, hr.ft2.oF/Btu

Thermal mass describes the ability of materials to


store heat. Because of its comparatively high density and
specific heat, masonry provides very effective thermal
storage. Masonry walls retain their temperature long after
the heat or air-conditioning has shut off. This, in turn,
effectively reduces heating and cooling loads, moderates
indoor temperature swings, and shifts heating and cooling
loads to off-peak hours. Due to the significant benefits of
concrete masonrys inherent thermal mass, concrete masonry buildings can provide similar energy performance to
more heavily insulated light frame buildings.
The benefits of thermal mass have been incorporated
into energy code requirements as well as sophisticated
computer models. Due to the thermal mass of concrete
masonry construction, energy codes and standards such
as the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC)
(ref. 1) and Energy Efficient Standard for Buildings Except
Low-Rise Residential Buildings, ASHRAE Standard 90.1
(ref. 2), require less insulation in concrete masonry assemblies than equivalent light-frame systems to meet the
energy requirements.
Although the thermal mass and inherent R-value/Ufactor of concrete masonry may be enough to meet energy
code requirements (particularly in warmer climates),
concrete masonry assemblies may require additional insulation, particularly when designed under more contemporary building code requirements or to achieve above-code
thermal performance. For such conditions, there are many
options available for insulating concrete masonry construction.
Although in general higher R-values reduce heat flow
through a building element, R-values have a diminishing
impact on the overall building envelope energy use. In
other words, its important not to automatically equate
higher R-value with improved energy efficiency. As an
example, consider a two-story elementary school in Bowling Green, Kentucky. If this school is built using single
wythe concrete masonry walls with cell insulation only,
with a resulting wall R-value of 7 hr.ft2.oF/Btu, an estimate

40

Figure 1:
Diminishing Returns of Added Wall Insulation

NCMA Thermal Catalog

of the building envelope energy use for this structure is


approximately 27,800 Btu/ft2. If we increase the R-value
of the wall to R14 by adding additional insulation while
holding the other envelope variables constant, the building envelope energy use drops by only 2.5%, which is
not in proportion to doubling the wall R-value. Figure 1
illustrates this trend: as wall R-value increases, it has less
and less impact on the building envelope thermal performance. In this example, a wall R-value larger than about
R12 no longer has a significant impact on the envelope
energy use. At this point, it makes more sense to invest in
energy efficiency measures other than wall insulation.
When required, concrete masonry can provide assemblies with R-values that exceed code minimums. For
overall project economy, however, the industry recommends balancing the needs and performance expectations
with reasonable insulation levels.

2. Scope of the Catalog

This Thermal Catalog of Concrete Masonry Assemblies


presents tabulated R-values of some common concrete
masonry constructions. Because of concrete masonrys inherent design flexibility, the assemblies presented are not
all-inclusive, but are intended to represent a wide range of
common concrete masonry wall designs.
Each page of the Catalog addresses a particular assembly and includes brief notes on the features of that
construction and a table of R-values for 6-in., 8-in., 10-in.
and 12-in. concrete masonry units of various concrete
densities and with various types and amounts of insulation. The basis and assumptions used to determine these
R-values are described in the following section.
Tabulated R-values include ungrouted walls, lightly
reinforced/grouted walls, heavily reinforced/grouted walls
and fully grouted walls. Lightly reinforced, as used in
this Catalog, refers to reinforcement and grout at 8 ft on
center both vertically and horizontally, which is approximately the same amount of grouted cells as an assembly
containing vertical reinforcement at 48 in. o.c. only.
Heavily reinforced refers to reinforcement and grout at

32 in. on center vertically and 48 in. on center horizontally,


which is approximately the same as vertical reinforcement at 24 in. o.c. without horizontally reinforced/grouted
courses. Other reinforcement schedules can be calculated
using the information in TEK 6-2C, R-Values and UFactors of Single Wythe Concrete Masonry Walls (ref. 3).
The grouting of hollow cells primarily impacts concrete
masonry R-values when cell insulation is used in single
wythe assemblies because the grout displaces some of
the wall insulation. Some rigid insulation inserts, however, are configured to accommodate reinforcing steel
and grout in the same cell to maintain a more continuous
insulation layer when cell insulation is used.
In regards to insulation, several types of rigid board
and batt insulation are covered in this catalog for specific
assemblies. For integral insulation within the cells of assemblies covered in this catalog, a polyurethane foamedin-place insulation is assumed. It is important to note that
other types of insulation materials are available that may
have an R-value that differs from that assumed in this
Catalog. Differences in insulation properties will affect
the assembly R-value as well.
Revisions in 2011 to ASTM C90 Standard Specification for Loadbearing Concrete Masonry Units (Ref. 4)
have significantly reduced the minimum amount of web
material required for CMU. Because of this revision this
Catalog is split into three sections; with each section
highlighting the use of different unit configurations. In
the first section, the CMU have three webs, with each web
being the full height of the unit, and having a minimum
thickness as provided in historical versions of ASTM
C90. The second section contains calculations using a
CMU having two full height, 0.75 in. thick webs. The
third section contains a hybrid system of CMU, intended
to maximize thermal efficiency. In this hybrid system
both two-web and one-web units are used. The two-web
units are the same as that used in the second section,
while the one-web units contain a single, full height 0.76
in. thick web, which represents the minimum web size
allowed in current versions of ASTM C90. The combination of single and two web unit configurations presented

in Section Three allows for partially grouted assemblies


to be constructed while minimizing the thermal bridging
through the websthereby maximizing the R-value of
the assembly. More information on the unit configurations
used can be found in the introduction to each section.
This Catalog is intended as a tool to determine R-values
for energy analysis and/or code compliance, although the
tables do not indicate whether a particular assembly meets
a particular energy code. More detailed information on
concrete masonry energy code compliance is included in
Section 4 below.

3. Basis of the Thermal Catalog


Thermal Properties

The R-values/U-factors listed in the following tables were


determined by calculation using the code-recognized
series-parallel (also called isothermal planes) calculation
method (refs. 5, 6). The method accounts for the thermal
bridging (heat flow) that occurs through the webs of
concrete masonry units. The method is fully described in
TEK 6-1C, R-Values of Multi-Wythe Concrete Masonry
Walls (ref. 7).
Thermal values for concrete masonry assemblies are
correlated to density because the thermal conductivity of
concrete increases with increasing concrete density. For
each unit density listed in the following tables, a range
of thermal conductivities may exist based on variations
in factors such as aggregate type(s), concrete mix design
or moisture content. The thermal conductivity values
used in developing in the following tables represent the
moisture-corrected thermal conductivity values, based on
a compendium of thermal conductivity research data (refs.
5, 6). Locally available products and local conditions may
result in thermal conductivity values that differ from those
used in the development of this catalog.
Although the R-values are based on typical 8-in. high
concrete masonry units, 4-in. high units (half-high units)
are also widely available and other heights may be available in some markets. Because the wall R-values vary so
little with different unit heights, the tables of this catalog
can be applied to units having heights other than 8 in.
The calculations include the effects of mortar and grout,
when used, as well as surface air film resistances. Thermal
data for these and other included materials are listed in
Appendix A.
For many values provided in this Catalog, surface
finishes or additional materials are included in the calculations. The thermal resistivity values for these finishes
and materials used are either directly from ASHRAE 90.1
(2007) or from thermal calculations performed in accordance with ASHRAE 90.1. The thermal properties for
various materials are provided in Appendix A and C.
Sample calculations can be found in Appendix C.
Each type of assembly has a sample calculation showing
all steps, including assumptions for materials, finishes,
and assemblies. These calculations are meant to help a

designer understand the concepts that form the basis of


this document.

4. Energy Performance Goals for


Concrete Masonry Assemblies

Todays buildings have varied energy efficiency goals.


Programs such as LEED and Green Globes set benchmarks for designers to integrate sustainable design
concepts into their projects to produce a comprehensively
green building. For these projects, the energy efficiency
goal for the building envelope is often to minimize energy
use. Another approach is taken on projects where economy is the top priority. For these buildings, the design
goal is to meet the current energy code requirements as
economically as possible. Between the two are a range of
building types and design goals that could be met.
For buildings using LEED or other sustainability rating programs, the R-values listed in this catalog can be
used in computer programs such as EnergyPlus, DOE-2
or BLAST to develop an estimate of energy use for the
building under consideration.
If the project goal is to meet, rather than exceed, the
energy code requirements, most codes allow any one of
three methods to be used to show compliance: prescriptive, trade-off or system performance, and whole building
energy analysis. The project need only comply under one
of these methods, not all three.
Of the three compliance methods, the prescriptive
method is the easiest to apply and perhaps the most wellrecognized. Building envelope components are listed in
table format, with prescriptive requirements listed separately for each component and climate zone. In the case
of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC),
prescriptive requirements are listed as either a maximum
U-factor of the overall wall (U-factor is simply the inverse
of R-value, i.e., U = 1/R) or as a minimum R-value for the
assembly.
The IECC prescriptive R-value table calls for continuous insulation on concrete masonry and other mass walls.
This refers to insulation uninterrupted by furring or by the
webs of concrete masonry units. Examples of continuous
insulation include rigid insulation adhered to the interior of
the wall with furring and drywall applied over the insulation, continuous insulation in a masonry cavity wall, and
exterior insulation and finish systems. Various assemblies
in this Catalog have continuous insulation.
If the concrete masonry assembly will not include
continuous insulation, there are several other options to
comply with the IECC requirementsconcrete masonry
assemblies are not required to have continuous insulation
in order to meet the IECC, regardless of climate zone.

Single Wythe Concrete Masonry


Assemblies

Single wythe concrete masonry assemblies are often constructed of hollow units with cells filled with insulation

NCMA Thermal Catalog

and/or grout. Hence, single wythe assemblies allow insulation and reinforcement to be used to increase thermal and
structural performance, respectively, without increasing
the wall thickness.
Masonry cell insulation is typically molded polystyrene
inserts, foamed-in-place insulation, or, less frequently,
expanded perlite or vermiculite granular fills. The thermal
resistance of the concrete masonry webs and any grouted
cells are accounted for when determining the assembly
R-values. When using cell insulation, the insulation should
occupy all ungrouted cell spaces (although some rigid
inserts are configured to accommodate insulation, reinforcing steel and grout in the same cell).
Single wythe construction also provides the options of
installing insulation on either the exterior or interior of the
masonry. The insulation may be rigid board (extruded or
expanded polystyrene or polyisocyanurate), closed-cell
spray polyurethane foam, cellular glass, fibrous batt, or
fibrous blown-in insulation (note, however, that fibrous
insulation is susceptible to moisture).
When an interior finish is included in the following tables, that finish is assumed to be 1/2 in. gypsum wallboard
on steel or wood furring. Other interior finish materials are
available, including paneling, plaster and adhered masonry
veneer, among others.
Changing the interior finish materials does not typically
change the overall assembly R-value significantly, unless
the finish material itself is insulative. For finish materials
installed on furring, such as wood paneling, the R-value
tables for gypsum wallboard on furring can be used as a
very close approximation. For interior finishes applied
directly to the concrete masonry, such as an adhered masonry veneer or plaster, R-values of assemblies without an
interior finish should be used.
When using interior or exterior insulation, concrete
masonry can accommodate both vertical and horizontal
reinforcement with partial or full grouting without interrupting the insulation layer.
Exterior-insulated masonry assemblies provide a continuous exterior insulation layer that envelopes the masonry,
minimizing the effect of thermal bridges. This also places
the thermal mass inside the insulation layer, keeping the
masonry directly in contact with the interior conditioned
air and maximizing the thermal mass benefit.
Exterior insulation can also reduce heat loss and moisture movement due to air leakage when joints between the
insulation boards are sealed. Exterior insulation, however,
negates the aesthetic advantage of exposed masonry. In addition, the insulation requires a protective finish to maintain
the durability, integrity, and effectiveness of the insulation.
When concrete masonry is used as infill in a structural concrete or steel frame, the R-value of the concrete
masonry portion of the wall may be obtained from the
following tables. This is then combined with the thermal
performance of the framing material to determine the
overall wall R-value or U-factor.

Concrete Masonry Multi-wythe


Assemblies

Multi-wythe concrete masonry construction lends itself to


placing insulation between two wythes of masonry when
the wythes are separated to form a cavity.
Placing insulation between two wythes of masonry offers maximum protection for the insulation while allowing
a vast amount of the thermal mass to be exposed to the
conditioned interior to help moderate temperatures. The
means to meet or exceed energy code requirements are
easily obtainable, because the cavity installation allows
a continuous layer of insulation to envelop the masonry.
When properly sealed, this continuous insulation layer can
also increase energy efficiency by mitigating air infiltration/exfiltration.
Cavity construction, as well as single wythe masonry
with cell insulation, provides hard, durable surfaces on
both sides of the assembly, efficiently utilizing the inherent
impact resistance and low maintenance needs of concrete
masonry. While these needs are most commonly associated with multi-family dwellings, hospitals, schools and
detention centers, the benefits of resistance to damage
from hail, shopping and loading carts, gurneys, motorized
chairs, and even sports make cavity construction ideal for
any application.
The term cavity insulation, which in some codes refers
to the insulation between studs in lightweight framing
systems, should not be confused with the long established
term: masonry cavity wall. Masonry cavity assemblies
are comprised of at least two wythes of masonry separated
by a continuous airspace (cavity).
Under current building code requirements a 1 in. clear
airspace between the insulation and the outer wythe is
required (2 in. is preferred) to help ensure free water
drainage (ref. 7). Cavity assemblies are typically designed
and detailed using actual out-to-out dimensions. Thus, a
14-in. cavity wall with a nominal 4-in. exterior wythe and
8-in. backup wythe has a nominal cavity width of 23/4 in.,
allowing for 13/4 in. of rigid board insulation.
Typical cavity assemblies are constructed with a 6, 8,
10 or 12 in. concrete masonry backup wythe, a 2 to 41/2 in.
wide cavity, and a 4-in. masonry veneer. By reference to
Specification for Masonry Structures (ref. 8), the International Building Code (ref. 9) prescriptively allows cavity
widths up to 41/2 in., beyond which a detailed wall tie
analysis must be performed.
As with single wythe assemblies, changing the interior
finish materials of a multi-wythe assembly does not typically change the overall assembly R-value significantly,
unless the finish material itself is insulative. For cavity
assemblies with interior-side finish materials installed on
furring, such as wood paneling, the R-values for Assembly
10 of each section can be used as a very close approximation. For finishes applied directly to the interior concrete
masonry, such as an adhered masonry veneer or plaster,
R-values could be used from Assembly 9 of each section.

When using closed-cell spray polyurethane foam insulation, use one approved for contact with water.
Thermal mass exposed to the conditioned space maximizes the benefits of thermal mass.
Masonry exposed on both the interior and exterior

INSULATION

Masonry exposed on both the interior and exterior provides


maximum durability.
Values in table assume no insulation in grouted cells. Note
that some rigid inserts are configured to accommodate insulation, reinforcing steel and grout in the same cell, which can
improve R-values.
Other masonry cell insulations include molded polystyrene inserts, other types of foamed-in-place insulations and
expanded perlite or vermiculite granular fills. These insulations will have different thermal properties than polyurethane
which will affect the resulting R-value.
Cell insulation, in contrast to additional insulation on either
side of the wall, allows some of the thermal mass (masonry)
to be in direct contact with the indoor air, providing excellent
thermal mass benefits.
Insulation should occupy all ungrouted cells.
Lightly reinforced = grout 8 ft o.c. both vertically and
horizontally (or vertical reinforcement only at 48 in. o.c.).
Heavily reinforced = grout 32 in o.c. vertically and 48 in.

INSULATION

Masonry exposed on both the interior and exterior provides maximum durability.
Values in table assume no insulation in grouted cells. Note that
some rigid inserts are configured to accommodate insulation,
reinforcing steel and grout in the same cell, which can improve
R-values.
Other masonry cell insulations include molded polystyrene
inserts, other types of foamed-in-place insulations and expanded
perlite or vermiculite granular fills. These insulations will have
different thermal properties than polyurethane which will affect
the resulting R-value.
Cell insulation, in contrast to additional insulation on either side
of the wall, allows some of the thermal mass (masonry) to be in
direct contact with the indoor air, providing excellent thermal
mass benefits.
Insulation should occupy all ungrouted cells.
Lightly reinforced = grout 8 ft o.c. both vertically and horizontally (or vertical reinforcement only at 48 in. o.c.). Heavily reinforced = grout 32 in o.c. vertically and 48 in. o.c. horizontally (or
vertical reinforcement only at 24 in. o.c.).

When using closed cell spray polyurethane foam
insulation, use one approved for contact with water.
Thermal mass exposed to the conditioned space
maximizes the benefits of thermal mass.
Interior furring allows for electrical rough-in.
The cavity width can be varied to accommodate
various insulation thicknesses, achieving a wide
range of R-values.
Reinforcement and grouting schedule has little effect on assembly R-values
Cavity insulation can reduce heat loss and moisture
movement due to air leakage when joints between
the insulation boards are sealed.
Lightly reinforced = grout 8 ft o.c. both vertically
and horizontally (or vertical reinforcement only at
48 in. o.c.). Heavily reinforced = grout 32 in o.c.
vertically and 48 in. o.c. horizontally (or vertical
reinforcement only at 24 in. o.c.).

Thermal resistivity data may vary from one insulation manufacturer to another. Users of this catalog should verify
the thermal properties of the specific insulation product they are using with the insulation manufacturer.
The R-value of polyisocyanurate insulation does not vary linearly with thickness. R-values by thickness are 1 in.
= R6.7; 1.5 in. = R10.5; 2 in. = R14.4; 2.5 in. = R17.8; 3 in. = R21.2; 3.5 in. = R24.6.
The R-value of SPF insulation does not vary linearly with thickness. R-values by thickness are 1 in. = R6.8; 2 in.
= R13; 3 in. = R19; 3.5 in. = R22.
Applies to both full- and half-height units.
This R-value applies only to polyurethane foamed-in-place insulation. Other available types, such as aminoplast
foamed-in-place, will have a different R-value. Aminoplast foamed-in-place insulation has an average R-value of
approximately 4.6/inch.

APPENDIX D SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF ALTERNATIVE


WEB OPTIONS
Contained within this Thermal Catalog are calculated thermal properties for various types of concrete masonry assemblies, as well as various configurations of concrete masonry units. The inclusion of several different types of
CMU configurations is a result of recent changes to ASTM C90 (ref. 4) and the associated requirements for web
thickness and configuration reflected in ASTM C90 prior to 2011. The version of ASTM C90 published after 2011
has a minimum web thickness of 0.75 inches, and a separate requirement for normalized web area, or the amount of
web (in square inches) per square foot of wall surface.
These web requirements, which are significantly different than versions of ASTM C90 published before 2011, provide the opportunity for a large variety of unit configurations, and also tailoring of specific configurations to specific
applications. While the possibilities are nearly endless, there are considerations to using/specifying alternative unit
configurations.
Energy Efficiency One of the primary benefits of units with reduced-size or less webs than traditional units is
the reduction in thermal bridging that occurs due to webs. Especially in single-wythe assemblies, the R-value of
the assembly can be increased as the number and size of webs is reduced.
Constructability units with only one or two webs can be used to accommodate wall configurations with large
amounts of reinforcement and congestion. These open end units can be placed easier around reinforcement than
close-end units. One must be careful, however, in situations of partial grouting. A one-web unit (typically called
H-block) cannot be partially grouted as there are not enough webs to confine the grout. Therefore, the oneweb unit is likely not a viable option at grouted cells for partially grouted wall assemblies. One-web units can
be used for the ungrouted cells between the reinforced cells however.
Availability because the change to ASTM C90 is a significant departure from historical configurations, certain
configurations may not be available in local markets. Before designing and specifying a non-traditional configuration, local producers should be consulted for availability of desired configurations.
Secondary Properties other CMU assembly properties, such as fire resistance or sound transmission class
(STC), may be affected based on alternative web configurations. STC, for example, is determined by calculation based on the weight of the wall assembly. If an alternative web unit is substituted for a traditional unit, the
reduction in material may lower the wall weight, and in turn reduce the STC rating. When additional properties
for the wall (outside of the scope of ASTM C90) are required, the designer should consider the unit configuration that will meet all the needs of the application.
