Mass - Insulation - Structure
WHAT IS EM WALL?
Energy Mass Wall [EM WALL] is a monocoque construction system comprised of a foam core encased in two shells of concrete. It produces a structural bearing wall with no thermal breaks that exceeds code standards for earthquake and fire safety.
WHY DEVELOP A BUILDING ENVELOPE TECHNOLOGY?
Buildings consume half of the nation's energy and are the largest contributors to climate change. The Energy Mass Wall [EM WALL] saves energy, reduces operating costs and protects the building's contents in the event of a power failure or natural disaster.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The R-100 insulated core conserves energy by reducing the speed of heat transfer through the wall; and the concrete shells store thermal energy for release at a later time.
