Ten Solutions for Sustainability

5. Increase Energy Performance

Solution: Utilize energy saving thermal mass characteristics with concrete building construction. Add to occupant quality of life with decreased sound transmission and resistance to fire and severe wind conditions.

Benefit: The benefits of thermal mass (heat and cool storage capacity) can help moderate indoor temperature extremes and reduce peak heating and cooling loads. Energy savings result from fewer spikes in heating and cooling requirements.
