Our par­ent com­pa­ny, Air­lite Plas­tics, cre­ates plas­tic prod­ucts for a vari­ety of appli­ca­tions – so we have a con­stant sup­ply of first-gen­er­a­tion recy­cled mate­r­i­al. And since it’s right here in our facil­i­ties, we work toward the small­est car­bon foot­print pos­si­ble.

The NRM­CA is a mem­ber­ship orga­ni­za­tion for the con­crete indus­try and is a lead­ing indus­try advo­cate that pro­vides infor­ma­tion and updates to its mem­bers about the lat­est tech­niques, mate­ri­als and tech­nolo­gies.

The envi­ron­men­tal impact of build­ings is a key con­cern in mod­ern con­struc­tion, focus­ing on reduc­ing car­bon emis­sions. A clear under­stand­ing of embod­ied and oper­a­tional car­bon, along with their dif­fer­ences, is essen­tial for sus­tain­able con­struc­tion strate­gies.

We’ve com­piled a list of zero-ener­gy homes that incor­po­rate sus­tain­able con­struc­tion into the build­ing process. The results are 5 facil­i­ties that prove zero net ener­gy can be achieved with care­ful plan­ning and appro­pri­ate imple­men­ta­tion.

As green build­ing becomes more com­mon prac­tice, there is a trend towards low­er con­struc­tion costs asso­ci­at­ed with build­ing sus­tain­ably, due to improved tech­nolo­gies and more read­i­ly avail­able envi­ron­men­tal­ly friend­ly build­ing mate­ri­als.
