A composite building unit comprising a pair of spaced brick-like elements, each having a plurality of recesses in an inwardly facing side thereof, and an intermediate insulating element having a plurality of projections extending outwardly from each of two opposed side faces thereof, the brick-like elements and the intermediate element being joined by a press fit with the projections of the intermediate element being received within the recesses of the brick-like elements to frictionally hold the elements together. The intermediate element is formed with a raised barrier portion extending along the top thereof and with an indentation extending along the bottom thereof to receive the barrier portion of another composite unit when stacked in mortar joint wall construction, the barrier portion acting as a dam to prevent the passage of water through the mortar joints and to channel the water to the ends of the unit for drainage to successively lower courses of masonry.

A composite building unit for mortar joint wall construction comprising: (a) a pair of elements formed of brick-like material, each said element having a facing side with a plurality of inwardly extending recesses therein, each said recess having a constriction adjacent the facing side from which it extends and an enlarged portion spaced inwardly from said constriction said pair of brick-like elements being spaced with the facing sides thereof in opposed facing relationship, (b) an intermediate element formed of compressibly resilient insulating material disposed between said pair of spaced brick-like elements and having two opposed side faces with a plurality of projections extending outwardly from each said side face, said intermediate element and said spaced brick-like elements being joined by a press fit with said projections of said intermediate element received within said recesses of said spaced brick-like elements and with said facing sides of said spaced brick-like elements and said side faces of said intermediate element being adjacent to one another, said projections being relatively compressed at the portions thereof adjacent said recess constrictions and being relatively expanded at the portions thereof located within said enlarged recess portions, said spaced brick-like elements and said intermediate elements being held together by frictional interaction between said projections and said recesses.
