An insulated building component which includes two concrete halves having an insulating layer interposed between them. The insulating layer is made from a material with good compression strength and disallows any direct contact between the top half and the bottom half. The top, bottom, end and side surfaces of the building component are parallel or perpendicular with respect to each other and present similar surfaces to those of a standard building block. A plurality of mated walls extend between top and bottom surfaces of the component and are angled to prevent vertical movement of the half members. The facing surfaces of the half members and the outermost edges of the walls are sloped, oppositely with respect to each other, to prevent width-wise lateral movement of the halves. The insulation layer, while retaining its strength in compression between the two halves, serves to decrease the thermal conductivity of the building component.
