Definitions
- the invention relates to environmentally responsible insulating construction blocks constructed primarily of recycled materials.
- the construction blocks comprise shredded rubber tire pieces coated with silica flume, slag cement and cement, which are then mixed with water and formed in a mold.
- the construction blocks can further comprise insulation foam disposed in the interior open matrix.
- the environmentally responsible insulating construction blocks provide high insulation as well as strength for applications such as roofing and wall construction, and other applications.
- Green building also known as green construction or sustainable building refers to both a structure and the using of processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle, from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition.
- Green building rating systems such as BREEAM (United Kingdom), LEED® (United States and Canada), DGNB (Germany), CASBEE (Japan), and VERDEGBCe (Spain) help consumers determine a structure's level of environmental performance. These systems award credits for building features that support green design in categories such as location and maintenance of building site, conservation of water, energy, and building materials, and occupant comfort and health. The number of credits generally determines the level of achievement. Additionally, green building codes and standards, such as the International Code Council's draft International Green Construction Code, are rules created by standards development organizations that establish minimum requirements for elements of green building such as materials or heating and cooling.
- LEED® Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
- USGBC U.S. Green Building Council
- LEED® The intent of LEED® is to provide a standard certification process that registers buildings constructed with environmental performance, efficiency, and occupant health and well-being as primary goals. Buildings receive points towards varying levels of certification based on the set of categories established by the USGBC. For example, points are awarded with respect to the following features:
- Green roof systems installed on 50% of more of a roof surface virtually guarantees 2 point toward LEED® certification, and can contribute an additional 7+ points. This is almost 20% of the total number of points needed for a building to be LEED®-certified.
- Low slope roofing systems have been developed for use with buildings.
- Low slope roofing systems commonly include a structural deck made of metal or concrete that is covered with a layer of insulation, and the insulation is then covered with a waterproof membrane.
- a commercial low slope roof system may use single-ply membranes of prefabricated sheets rolled onto the roof and attached with mechanical fasteners, adhered with chemical adhesives, or held in place with ballast such as gravel, stones, or pavers; built-up roofs consisting of a base sheet, fabric reinforcement layers, and a dark protective surface layer; modified bitumen sheet membranes having one or more layers of plastic or rubber material with reinforcing fabrics, and surfaced with mineral granules or a smooth finish; and spray polyurethane foam roofs constructed by mixing two liquid chemicals together that react and expand to form one solid piece that adheres to the roof then having a protective coating such as metal or tile placed over the polyurethane.
- Insulated panels are known to be used on wall and roof building applications to form part or all of the building envelope.
- An insulation panel typically has opposing inside and outside surfaces with an insulating foam core adhered between the surfaces. The panel can then be mounted onto support structures to form the wall or roof application in a building.
- Tire recycling or rubber recycling is the process of recycling vehicles' tires that are no longer suitable for use on vehicles due to wear or irreparable damage. These tires are a large and difficult source of waste due to the large volume produced, and the fact they contain a number of components that are ecologically problematic. In the United States alone the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that roughly 300 million scrap tires are generated annually. Over 60 million of these tires end up in landfills, ocean, lakes, greatly harming our environment. Local recycling facilities are having a very difficult time dealing with this problem because of the enormous quantities of tires being generated each year and with only so many limited re-use options available to them.

In Broward County, Florida, buildings must withstand wind forces of 140 mph, and in Miami-Dade County, Florida, buildings must withstand wind forces of 146 mph.
- FIGS. 2A-2G depict the steps of manufacturing the environmentally responsible insulating construction block according to one embodiment of the invention.
- a dry mixture is made from silica flume, slag cement and cement.
- shredded tire pieces are added to the dry mixture and mixed until coated.
- molds are prepared and a layer of grout is added to the bottom of each mold.
- each mold is fitted with a lid and left to sit in ambient air until dry.
- FIG. 2G the dried environmentally responsible insulating construction blocks are removed from the molds and are ready for use.
- FIG. 3 depicts an environmentally responsible insulating construction block 300 having insulating foam 310 disposed in the interior open matrix according to one embodiment of the invention.
- Environmentally responsible insulating construction block 300 comprises a top surface 301 having a grout layer 315; a bottom surface 302; and four side walls 303.
- Shredded rubber tire pieces 305 that have been coated with silica flume, slag cement and cement and then mixed with water and dried to form an open matrix in the interior of environmentally responsible insulating construction block 300.
- insulating foam 320 is disposed in some or all of the interior open matrix of environmentally responsible insulating construction block 300.
