Emission intensity of wall - clay brick - single skin - 102.5 mm with mortar 1:4 cement:sand mix (using cem i cement). 1900 bricks per m3 of mortar. Mortar uses CEM I e.g. no cement replacements in the mix. You must consider if this strength of mortar is suitable for your application. Average UK brick weighs 2.13 kg per brick [Source: The Brick Development Association]. The source does not clarify if the kgCO2e value is calculated using the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) or IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) or IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) methodologies.
