Sustainability
Sustainability is a core value of Spherical Block and we believe these systems provide the most sustainable construction method on the market.
​
The thermal mass properties of a full masonry building envelope dramatically decrease the amount of energy required to maintain a proper indoor temperature. These buildings naturally stay cool in the summer and maintain warmth in the winter.
​
There are some very promising new technologies addressing the carbon footprint of concrete and we look forward to future collaborations. One of our NSF peers has found a way to cure block without the need to heat it.
​
We encourage everyone in the architecture, engineering and construction fields to take a look at this sustainable design competition that is open now.
