| Green Building Strategy |
| Do You Know The Green Side of Precast Concrete ? |
Design Green Building Rating System (LEED) in 1998. These established definitions
and measurements are in place to officially recognize buildings as green. Now, LEED
certification has become synonymous with responsible building.
The Quick Wall system is perfect for customers demanding greener more sustainable
buildings. Contractors and Owners are increasingly being asked to provide building
products that demonstrate environmental responsibility. At Quick Wall, our precast
concrete wall system is the ideal solution for most projects registering for LEED
certification. Click on the link below for more LEED information.

| Green Advantages of our Quick Wall precast concrete wall system. |
| Quick Wall precast concrete panels have many Environmental benefits during construction and for the life of the structure. Waste Minimization - Less materials are required because we reuse steel forms and have precise mixture proportions which results in tighter control of quantities. Recycled Content - Fly ash and recycled aggregate CAN be used to reduce the use of virgin materials. Less Building Disturbance - Less dust and waste is created at construction sites because only NEEDED precast concrete elements are delivered. Fewer trucks and less time are required for construction because the concrete wall panels are made off site. The individual Quick Wall precast concrete wall pieces are normally large components, so greater portions of the project are completed more quickly, creating less disruption overall. Energy - Quick Wall precast concrete wall panels combine the thermal mass of concrete with an optimal amount of insulation. This offers greater comfort by reducing air infiltration. It also provides better control for heating, ventilation and air condition (HVAC) systems, saving energy and reducing environmental impact. Acoustic Comfort - Quick Wall precast concrete wall panels reduce sound penetration through the walls by over 80% compared to wood or steel construction. Disaster Resistance - Quick Wall precast concrete wall panels are resistant to termites, fires, winds, hurricanes, wind driven rain and moisture penetration. Life Cycle Cost - Quick Wall precast concrete wall panels have a service life of 100-200 years. Most average building service life range between 50-100 years. Life cycle cost of precast concrete walls means lower maintenance, repair, replacement and energy costs. Durable Quick Wall precast concrete wall panels offers sustain ability for years into the future. |
Concrete products are playing an ever-expanding role in the commercial and
residential marketplace. Increasing numbers of homes are being built with concrete
components. The longevity of concrete means less maintenance and replacement
when compared to other building products. This contributes to the environmental value
of this versatile building material
Homes built with Insulated Precast Concrete walls require 44% less energy to heat
and 32% less energy to cool than comparable framed houses. In hotter areas, heat
savings will be less and cooling savings more. But Insulated Concrete homes do more
than cut down on energy loss. Concrete gives them the heat – absorbing property
“Thermal Mass”, the ability to smooth out large temperature swings. It keeps the walls
warmer when the outdoor temperature hits its coldest and cooler when the outdoor
temperature is hottest. The walls “add back “ heat or cooling, which contributes about
6% of the needed energy to the house for free.
The use of Precast Concrete material enables a builder to offer a superior product with
many benefits for his client, the homeowner – a greater energy efficiency, increased
resistance to natural disasters, durability, and a quieter, more comfortable indoor
environment.
Builders employing Insulated Precast Concrete, Energy Star appliances, Low Flow
fixtures, and Low-e windows see greater sales of homes to consumers ready to buy a
home that will reduce energy use and environmental impact. Be on the cutting edge of
technology by offering a safe, affordable, and “Green” home to your clients now. What
sets you apart, to a home buyer, is value. Let us quote your models today.
