Challenging the Building Team
Sustainable development challenges the design and construction industry to create buildings that acknowledge the life cycle of a building. Recognizing that operating a building over time is far more energy intensive than developing it, demand for durability and energy performance is growing.
Architects, engineers, and builders
are choosing concrete for its durability, recycled
ingredients, and energy efficiency not found in
other building materials like steel or wood. When
compared with other building materials, concrete
is a responsible choice for sustainable development.
