1. Financial Responsibility

2. The Concrete Joint Sustainability Initiative is a multi-association effort of the Concrete Industry supply chain to take unified and integrated action for Sustainable Development

3. Concrete JSI members have signed a joint agreement committing to act on 9 Declarations. Declaration #4 addresses 8 Social Values of Concrete Structures http://www.sustainableconcrete.org http://www.sustainableconcrete.org

4. Declaration #4: “Our integrated thinking will focus on the following Social Values provided by Concrete Structures”: 1. Resource efficiency5. By-product reduction 2. Safety/protection6. Aesthetics 3. Financial responsibility7. Societal connectivity 4. Operational continuity8. Longevity/durability

5. This presentation discusses Social Value #3: Financial Responsibility

6. Value #3: Financial Responsibility Concrete structures provide economic advantages both from a total cost of ownership perspective, and from greater local content benefit to communities.

7. Financial Responsibility - Part of a Larger Goal Triple Bottom Line Environmental Economic Social Social Equity Economic Prosperity Environmental Stability Sustainability

8. Financial Responsibility: What It Means Investing locally Initial and Long Term Value Reducing operational costs

9. Local Investment

10. The concrete industry creates local jobs In 2005, cement industry employed 16,877 workers. Translates to 1+ million direct and indirect jobs. Source: www.cement.org\econ\industry Local Investment in Community

11. Initial and Long Term Value

12. Fuel Economy Heating and Cooling Heat Island Reduction Disaster resistance Reduced Operating Costs

13. Financial Value Today & in Future Concrete roads cost less For a 1-mile, 2-lane road: In 2003, asphalt cost $120k less than concrete. In 2009, concrete roads cost $82k less than asphalt. Increased cost due to oil prices and refining techniques. Source: PCA Perspectives, July 2009

14. Annual Savings of $1,750 per truck $4.6 billion nationally

15. Project Details $365 million 1.2 million sf Integral insulation Complete vapor barrier UK Patient Care Facility, Lexington, KY General Contractor: Turner Construction Company | Architect: Ellerbe Becket, Minneapolis, MN and GBBN Architects | Owner: University of Kentucky Precast replaces hand-set brick exterior with metal-stud back-up. Operational Impact

16. How Look of hand-laid brick, without the cost Concrete mass regulates temperatures Walls create air and vapor barrier (less heat loss) No condensation in wall

17. Operational Impact - Results Concrete walls save energy and reduce costs 3 factors contribute to thermal performance R-value Air infiltration Thermal Mass Greater R-value, more energy savings Concrete = R 26.98 Metal stud = R 11.49

18. Operational Impact - Results Envelope Performance Concrete’s mass lowers energy cost up to 23%

19. Energy-Saving Results Cold Climate Performance Concrete buildings saved 21% in Denver 18% in Chicago 3 points in LEED 2009 EA

20. Energy-Saving Results Cool Climates 23% energy savings in Salem 5 points in LEED 2009 EA Mild Climates 16% energy savings in Memphis 3 points in LEED 2009 EA

21. Affordable Housing for All

22. For Now and Future Generations
