Lunch and Learn | WEBINAR | Navigating Energy Codes to Maximize Thermal Mass
2026-04-28 11:30 - 12:30 | Utah Masonry Council, 299 S. Main Street, Salt Lake City, UT, 84111, United States
Join us for a WEBINAR – Navigating Energy Codes to Maximize Thermal Mass

This course examines how concrete masonry’s thermal mass contributes to energy efficiency across a range of climate zones and building types. It describes the role of heat capacity and mass wall behavior in overall thermal performance and outlines how these attributes are addressed within current energy codes. The session reviews prescriptive, trade-off, and whole-building performance pathways in ASHRAE 90.1 and the IECC, highlighting how CMU assemblies are evaluated in each method. The course also presents commonly used compliance tools, and shows how they support energy-code documentation for mass-wall designs.

Objectives
1. Evaluate how thermal mass and energy efficiency of CMU assemblies are an important part of sustainable design.
2. Describe how thermal mass works and how it helps with energy efficiency in both warmer and cooler climates.
3. Explore how thermal mass is measured and accounted for in the code, and compare energy code compliance pathways.
4. Discuss code compliance documentation tools, what defaults to use to get the most benefits from thermal mass

Climate Responsive Design
Description
This course explores how using concrete masonry units (CMU) in the built environment provides an integrated approach to climate-responsive design by simultaneously addressing three critical sustainability strategies: resilience, operational energy use, and embodied carbon reduction. Participants will examine how CMU construction offers inherent solutions to modern building challenges, from natural disasters and extreme weather events to energy conservation and carbon footprint reduction. The course demonstrates that CMU structures perform beyond code requirements without additional measures, providing durable, cost-effective buildings that support community resilience while contributing to low embodied carbon goals.
Objectives

Describe architectural versatility of concrete masonry construction and how CMU offers countless colors, textures, and finishes.
Summarize how concrete masonry offers inherent resilience strategies that exceed building code minimums and discuss how concrete masonry can help to redefine affordability by reducing repair and recovery expenses after extreme events.
Investigate how concrete masonry’s thermal mass provides energy efficient designs and reduces operational energy use.
Explore groundbreaking industry research demonstrating concrete masonry’s low embodied carbon and investigate three key factors: lower cement content from unique manufacturing, accelerated carbon sequestration, and hollow core design reducing concrete volume.
