Reducing Embodied Carbon

Clients and specifiers are increasingly looking at the embodied carbon of materials that are used and their end of life carbon impacts. Current Part L energy efficiency standards do not consider this aspect but as buildings continue to become more energy efficient so the relative importance of whole life carbon emissions in buildings increases. The Carbon Buster block has been developed with low carbon impact as its main benefit. This is achieved not only by using carefully selected raw materials, but by incorporating lightweight aggregates, including graded wood particles, that sequent a large amount of carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing of atmospheric carbon dioxide. In this context Carbon Buster can be described as a carbon reservoir.

Carbon Buster’s carefully selected combination of raw materials result in a walling product that is carbon neutral and therefore can be specified for building projects that aim to achieve a low carbon design.

Carbon Methodology and Authority

The methodology used to determine the carbon footprint of Carbon Buster as well as other products, is PAS 2050:2011 ‘Specification for the assessment of the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of goods and services’. The Study to assess carbon footprinting values was conducted by the School of Science, University of Greenwich Comparison of Building Materials. The performance of Carbon Buster can be compared to other building materials by reference to Table A opposite. Embodied energy for comparison purposes is based on ‘Cradle–to-Grave’ but excluding transport from factory gate to the construction site.

• Incorporates recycled and carbonated aggregates from by-products

• Captures more CO2 than is emitted during its manufacture

• Invented and made in Britain

• Key to meeting zero carbon home targets

• Suitable for facing and general purpose applications.

The new and unique

Carbon Negative

BLOCK

‘The Carbon Buster‘ is made up of more than 50% recycled material.

This includes the Carbon8 pellets which are produced by combining CO2, sand, cement and water. The result is a unique aggregate that, when incorporated into Lignacite’s products, creates the first ever carbon negative building block.

Surface Finish Recommendations

Drylining - Application to be as manufacturer’s recommendations.Dense Plaster - Apply either 1:1:6 cement:lime:sand or 1:4 ½ Masonry cement:sand or 1:5 ½ cement;sand and plasticiser. Alternatively: Thistle Bonding or Thistle Hardwall or Knauf Ultimate backing plaster.Finishing Coats - Thistle plaster finish or Thistle multi-finish or Knauf Multi cover.External Rendering - Rendering to be in accordance with BS EN 13914-1. Avoid over strong mixes. Ensure the first coat of render is applied to a greater thickness than successive coats. An initial spatterdash coat is advisable, consisting of 1 part cement, 1 part sand, gauged with a proprietary bonding agent (SBR). Builders considering the use of proprietary single coat render systems must exercise caution to accurately adhere to the render manufacturers’ design and specification guides. Furthermore, during application, strictly adhere to the specific and expansive application instructions, paying particular attention to prevailing weather conditions applied thereto. PLEASE NOTE that traditional rendering applications are not so seasonally and conditionally demanding.

Movement Control

Movement joints should be considered in accordance with PD 6697 at approximately 6.0 metre spacings. In areas of concentrated stress, such as those above and below openings, consideration should be given to the use of bed joint masonry reinforcement.

Mortar

The mortar type for work above ground level should be designation (iii) / Compressive Class M4. Stronger mixes may be used only with the permission of the designer. Stronger mixes may also be required for work below ground in accordance with PP 6697.

Ashlite is a medium density concrete block manufactured from 100% recycled aggregate conserving valuable sources ofprimary material. They are a robust and durable block suitable for a range of walling applications. This includes the inner leaf of cavity walls when used with cavity insulation, separating or partition walls, infill blocks in beam and block flooring systems. They can also be used externally where rendering or cladding is to be applied to the wall. Ashlite blocks provide a strong background for holding fixings.

Applications

Ashlite blocks can be considered for use in the following locations:

• Inner and outer leaves of external cavity walls• Internal walls, including fire break walls• Separating walls including those conforming to Robust Detail specifications• External and internal walls below ground (7.3N/mm2 strength blocks should be used to walls exposed to the external ground)• Infill units to beam and block flooring

Appearance Ashlite blocks are medium to dark grey in colour with a granular surface texture suitable for plastering or rendering. They have a face size of 440m x 215mm and are available in100mm and 140mm widths in solid form only.

• High thermal insulation reducing the amount of added insulation required to comply with energy efficiency standards• Lightweight, making Fibo 850 an easy to handle - one-hand lift - and quick to lay• Good background for direct application of plasters and renders - no bonding agents required. • Fixings can be easily made and held securely. Ideal background for direct nailing• High levels of fire protection - up to 2 hours for 100mm loadbearing walls

Fibo 850 is an ultra lightweight concrete block manufactured from expanded clay aggregates and a mixture of other naturally occurring raw materials and cement. The clay aggregate is produced from carefully selected clays which through heat expansion are bloated to create a low density porous aggregate with numerous cavities. This is what makes Fibo 850 so incredibly light and thermally efficient.

Applications

Fibo 850 is suitable for use in housing and extension projects. It can also be used to construct walls in other buildings where there is a requirement to specifiy blockwork with a low self-weight, eg., partition walls on floor slabs.

Fibo 850 can be considered for use in the following locations:

• Inner and outer leaves of external cavity walls• Internal walls, including fire break walls• Internal walls below ground, such as the inner leaf of external cavity walls and interior walls

For use in separating walls meeting the requirements of Part E of the Building Regulations, we recommend the use of products from the Ashlite, Lignacite or Lignacrete ranges.

Appearance Fibo 850 has an open textured surface which is ideal for applying plaster and render. It has a face size of 440mm x 215mm in 100mm and 140mm widths and is produced in solid form only.

• Manufactured using selected lightweight aggregates, resulting in a light block for ease of handling and laying• Suitable for applications above and below ground, including loadbearing and non-loadbearing walls.• A strong background for applying plaster and render finishes and to secure fixings.

Houseblock 1100 lightweight aggregate concrete blocks are robust and durable and suitable for a range of walling applications. This includes the inner leaf of cavity walls when used with cavity insulation, partition walls and infill blocks in beam and block flooring systems.

Houseblock 1100 can also be used externally where rendering or a cladding is to be applied to the wall.

Sound Insulation

Houseblock 1100 can provide good levels of sound insulation between rooms in buildings and satisfies Building Regulation E2 for use between rooms in dwelling houses. It is not recommended for use in separating walls in dwellings. However, other products are available to satisfy this requirement.

Appearance

Houseblock 1100 is medium to dark grey in colour and has a granular surface suitable for plastering or rendering. It is available in a face size of 440mm x 215mm in 100mm and 140mm widths. They are produced in solid form only.

Standards

Houseblock 1100 blocks are BSI Kitemarked certified to BS EN 771-3. They are Category 1 masonry units, manufactured under a BSI approved certified Quality System complying with BS EN 9001.

Applications

Houseblock 1100 can be considered for use in the following locations:

• The inner and outer leaves of external cavity walls,• Internal walls including fire break walls• Internal walls below ground• Infill units to beam and block flooring
