The Carbon Calculator from Angelus Block estimates impacts of concrete masonry specific to its cement type, location, and Southern California locale It demonstrates low base impacts and significant reductions in carbon output with optional masonry grout mixes. Included are Angelus Medium Weight CMU and Angelus Medium Weight White CMU.
The Calculator also accounts for the unique treatment of concrete masonry mass walls in the California Energy Code, where insulation is not mandated. Thus, calculated values are more accurate for the region served by Angelus. The tool has been reviewed by Athena Sustainable Materials Institute.
Updated to include August 2023 data for Angelus CMU EPDs.
