An insulation product may include an insulation material. The insulation material may include at least one material selected from the group consisting of nonwoven insulation, aerogel insulation, mineral insulation, and foam insulation. The insulation material may include a first end and a second end positioned opposite the first end. The first end may include a protrusion. At least a portion of the protrusion may widen in a direction opposite the second end. The second end may define a cutout that substantially matches a size and shape of the protrusion. The cutout and the protrusion may be aligned with one another along a length of the insulation material.

A construction block unit includes a construction block including a bottom plate having a rectangular shape, sidewalls attached to each side of the bottom plate via hinges, wherein the sidewalls rotate on the hinges from a position planar with the bottom plate for storage to a position perpendicular to the bottom plate to form a receptacle configured to receive and contain a weight, and a pair of interlocking portions, each at opposite sides of the construction block to fasten the sidewalls in the position perpendicular to the bottom plate. Each of the pair of interlocking portions is shaped to receive a corresponding interlocking portion of a second construction block by vertically sliding the corresponding interlocking portion into the interlocking portion.

A facing building member, a method of forming a facing building member and a method of forming a cladding panel. The facing building member is usable with other building members in forming a cladding panel. The building member has a front face and a rear side, the rear side being profiled by cutting with a water jet so as to provide at least one mechanical key on the facing building member.

Modular building methods and systems using lightweight foam modular panels. Each panel includes one or more channels formed through the length of the foam body, where the channels are configured to receive splines therein. The channels may include pairs of top and pairs of bottom channels, each channel being offset from the center of the foam body, so that the channels are oriented towards the respective panel faces. Splines may also be positioned along the top and bottom of the panel (such splines forming a web center portion of an I-beam). In combination with the splines in the top and bottom channels, these web center portion splines form horizontally extending I-beams at the top and bottom of each panel, so that stacked panels include a horizontally extending I-beam there between. Side-by-side panels include vertical posts there between, such that the system forms a post and beam construction system.

A building block system of a plurality of transportable, lightweight, and reusable hollow prefabricated non-masonry interlocking mortarless building blocks that have corresponding mating formations being protuberances and concavities that run vertically up the building blocks being joined together and when aligned in a staggered manner upwardly are held together with threaded reinforcement rods extending vertically between and connected to the top and bottom channels through connectable couplings and capped off with complementary cap attachments.

A masonry system having a primary masonry unit with final coating and thermal and acoustic insulation, with several derivations. The masonry system guarantees the construction of a wall providing final finishing and thermal and acoustic insulation simultaneously. The system is based on a primary masonry unit having a coating layer in its outer face and an insulation layer which, depending on the version adopted, can be situated in the inner face thereof or in the outer face, covered by the final finishing layer in the latter case. The primary units present a tongue and groove fitting system which allows an easy and quick fitting, allowing the placement of these same units by wet or dry process. The masonry system further foresees secondary units and metallic reinforcements, to prevent phenomena of cracks and fissures and to improve the anti-seismic behavior of the wall.

An insulation product may include an insulation material.

The insulation material may include a first end and a second end positioned opposite the first end. The first end may include a protrusion. At least a portion of the protrusion may widen in a direction opposite the second end. The second end may define a cutout that substantially matches a size and shape of the protrusion. The cutout and the protrusion may be aligned with one another along a length of the insulation material.
