Energy efficiency has become a hallmark of green construction. At Greenbuild
2006, Portland Cement Association will be the leading resource for concrete
solutions for energy efficiency.
www.ConcreteThinker.com
is a unique clearinghouse of tools and information that helps turn green
building ideas into concrete solutions.
Visit the PCA booth (1724) to take a tour and learn
more about this versatile material.
Sustainable development challenges the design and construction industry
to create buildings that acknowledge the life cycle of a building. Architects,
engineers, and builders are choosing concrete for its durability, recycled
ingredients, and energy efficiency. When compared with other building
materials, concrete is a responsible choice for sustainable development.
The benefits of building with insulating concrete forms.
Precast concrete wall systems offer several advantages to traditional wall systems.

A First in the
Capitol
The Washington, D.C., headquarters of the National Association of Realtors
was the first DC building to receive a LEED certification. Today it also
houses the Portland Cement Association’s Washington office.
The U.S. cement industry is dedicated to manufacturing a superior product
while continuously challenging manufacturing policies and procedures to
improve energy efficiency and minimize emissions.
To ensure that the industry’s commitment results in
consistent, tangible actions, PCA has developed the Cement Manufacturing
Sustainability Program. PCA releases an annual Report on Sustainable Manufacturing
that tracks the industry’s progress in improving the manufacturing
process and updates the industry’s performance with respect to limiting
its footprint.
