Concrete unit masonry includes low impact CarbonKind CMU by Angelus Block. Learn more here.
Type III EPDs are available by product mix and manufacturing location. Essential EPDs are available here, and more are available upon request or from our EPD operator, ASTM.
CarbonKindTM CMU by Angelus Block significantly lowers CO2e well below the Carbon Leadership Forum's (CLF) 2021 Material Baselines (v2) for concrete masonry units, and 2023 CLF Material Baselines Appendices. Medium Weight (MW) CMU are the predominant product type used in buildings.Medium Weight (MW) CMU are the predominant product type used in buildings.
The average CO2e impacts in Angelus EPDs for MW show reductions of 42% and 61% compared to 2021 CLF Typical and Baseline values, and 21% reduction in 2023 CLF MB Appendices. See CarbonKindTM for more information.
With data now available from CLF, comparisons to baselines are possible. A new LEED v4.1 Pilot Credit, Procurement of Low Carbon Construction Materials (MRpc132), provides means to account for and define reductions in the embodied carbon of materials, and ultimately the building. Angelus CarbonKind cmu significantly contribute to the intent of this pilot credit.
All typically used structural and architectural cmu are covered, specific to manufacturing location.
