How Does Insulated Volcanic Block Save Energy?
With rising electricity prices and increasing awareness of the importance of energy savings, many are looking for effective solutions to reduce energy consumption in their homes. Insulated volcanic blocks offer a comprehensive solution to this problem.
Thermal Insulation Mechanism
Insulated volcanic blocks work to reduce heat transfer between inside and outside the building through:
- Inner insulation layer that prevents thermal conduction
- Air gaps that reduce thermal convection
- Reflective surface that reduces solar radiation absorption
Energy Consumption Savings Percentage
Studies have shown that using insulated volcanic blocks can achieve:
- 30-40% savings in cooling electricity consumption
- 25% reduction in required AC unit sizes
- Annual electricity bill reduction by thousands of Riyals
Case Study: Residential Villa in Riyadh
A 400 square meter villa was built using insulated volcanic blocks. Results after one year of use:
- 35% savings in electricity bill compared to neighboring buildings
- Better thermal comfort with reduced AC operating hours
- No need for additional external insulation
Return on Investment
Although the cost of insulated volcanic blocks is slightly higher than traditional blocks, energy savings recover this difference within 3-5 years, then savings continue for decades.
Investing in insulated volcanic blocks is an investment in a better future for you and the environment.
Conclusion
Insulated volcanic blocks are not just a building material, but a smart investment that saves money in the long term and contributes to environmental preservation.
