Why is concrete green? Resource efficiency- Limestone- most abundant mineral on earth. Fly ash, slag cement, and silica fume- waste byproducts from power plants, steel mills, and other manufacturing facilities. By Heidi Caldwell Marsh Gooding Logan Nicoll

Durability- 2-3 times the average lifespan of “common” building, low maintenance Thermal Mass- Ability to absorb and maintain heat Concrete can be polished for a high-gloss finish w/o wax or coatings VOC FREE

Reflectivity- Light color can reduce urban heat islands- Reducing need for A/C in the summer. Stormwater retention- Pervious concrete allows water to pass through it freely- can be matched with grass to make grasscrete

Minimal Waste- -Project specific quantities -Can be crushed and used in new concrete or as backfill or road base.

Structural Concrete Applications Foundations Basements Footings Slabs Retaining Walls Houses
