NSF Grant, Roman Concrete and R-valuesHello - We're thrilled to receive a second grant from the National Science Foundation to remove cement from structural masonry. Along the way, we're studying what the Romans knew about cement (spoiler alert - a lot) and we're blogging about R-value and the relationship between insulation and thermal mass. Take a look and let us know what you're working on. - David Easton + the Watershed team

Roman ConcreteWatershed Materials is researching Roman concrete in our pursuit of low embodied energy masonry. Combining historical methods with modern nanoparticle science produces new strategies for making structural masonry with a lower carbon footprint.

R-valuesInsulation alone - or R value - is not always going to guarantee comfort. In many climates, insulation must work in conjunction with thermal mass, or the storage and transmission of heat and cold.
