Emission intensity of wall - clay brick - single skin - 102.5 mm with Mortar 1:5 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 either IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) or IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) methodologies.
