Insulated block with non-linearthermal paths for building energy efficient buildings

A wall system for a building construction comprising a plurality of blocks, wherein each of the blocks comprises:

• a molded body formed of an inorganic material, wherein the molded body defines (a) a rectangular-box shape;
• (b) non-linear thermal paths of the body material across the block by offsetting and restricting the cross webbing of the block;
• and (c) at least two cavities in the block.

A building comprising a plurality of walls wherein at least one of the walls comprises a plurality of blocks, and wherein each of the blocks comprises:

• a molded body formed of an inorganic material, wherein the molded body defines (a) a rectangular-box shape;
• (b) non-linear thermal paths of the body material across the block by offsetting and restricting the cross webbing of the block;
• and (e) at least two cavities in the block.

A block for building construction, the block comprising:

• a molded body formed of an inorganic material, wherein the molded body defines (a) a rectangular-box shape;
• (b) at least two cavities in the block;
• and wherein the block has nominal dimensions of 6″×6″×24″.
