Concrete block makes a cost effective and structurally sound wall but it has.

Concrete or concrete block.
For instance if you have a material with an r value of 12 attached to another material with an r value of 3 then both materials combined have an r value of 15.
Therefore technically it has no insulation value.

If you had a 20 x 30 6m x 9m basement with concrete or concrete block walls your heat loss could easily be over 1 million btus per day through the walls.

But concrete is a conductor of thermal energy not an insulator.

However too many people confuse insulation properties with thermal mass many icf dealers d.
Wood frame walls 3 plus r value of the insulation used floors above unheated spaces 2 plus r value of the insulation used.

By doubling the thickness of the wall to 16 inches the r value only increases by 0 50.

I agree mostly with junio s answer.
The insulation may be poured directly into walls or emptied into a simply wood or metal hopper which can be slid along the wall to direct the free flowing perlite into cores of cavities thus insulating all voids and air pockets.
Block thickness in inches.
Concrete block walls u values r values.
As we said before the r value measures the thermal resistance of a material.
The r value of an uninsulated 8 inch thick basement wall built using normal weight concrete is 1 35 based on data from the 1993 american society of heating refrigeration and air conditioning engineers handbook.
