Energy Brick Cost Savings from Green Energy Bricks

If you are using Energy Brick, the following cost savings add up if you are using it as part of your construction build.

1. No rebate is required as part of the concrete slab - only an outer square edge is required.

2. It's a single wall system which:

• Replaces the external skin of brickwork or any other type of lining
• Replaces the need for a structural stud wall as the Energy Brick itself is load bearing
• Replaces any need for insulation as it is already at a massive R8+.
• Replaces any need for sislation
• Replaces the need to add other materials to the external wall. This is usually done to increase the wall's energy rating to reach 5 or 6 stars.

3. Reduces the cost for a termite barrier and other flashing requirements.

4. Dramatically increases the speed of construction.

5. The Energy Bricks can be laid from inside where it is a flat platform. This avoids the use of expensive scaffolds to perform the work from the outside and lessens the possibilities of OH&S issues.

6. Smaller heating and cooling units are required, which results in less initial outlay.

7. Reduces ongoing utility costs, which equates to continued savings year after year.

8. Depending on the type of windows used, and the method of installation, the windows can be the last item installed to achieve lock up. This dramatically reduces or eliminates the chances of breakage, damage or replacement of windows, which can often happen during normal building construction.
