What sustainable features do concrete blocks have?

• Energy efficiency, durability, and recyclability

• High cost, low strength, and non-renewable

• Not eco-friendly, easily breakable, and non-recyclable

• Prone to decay, poor insulation, and non-durable

Explain how concrete blocks contribute to energy efficiency in buildings.

• Concrete blocks have a high carbon footprint, contributing to energy inefficiency in buildings.

• Concrete blocks are lightweight and easy to install, reducing the need for energy-intensive construction equipment.

• Concrete blocks are made from sustainable materials, reducing the environmental impact of the building.

• Concrete blocks have high thermal mass, which helps in regulating indoor temperature and reducing the need for heating or cooling.
