Financial Responsibility

1. Financial Responsibility

2. The Concrete Joint Sustainability Initiative is a multi-association effort of the Concrete Industrysupply chain to take unified and integrated action forSustainable 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

4. Declaration #4: “Our integrated thinking will focus on the following Social Values provided by Concrete Structures”: 1. Resource efficiency 5. By-product reduction 2. Safety/protection 6. Aesthetics 3. Financial responsibility 7. Societal connectivity 4. Operational continuity 8. 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 greaterlocal content benefit to communities.

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

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. Local Investment in Community Source: www.cement.org\econ\industry

11. Initial and Long Term Value

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

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

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

15. Operational Impact Precast replaces hand-set brick exterior with metal-stud back-up. • 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

16. 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 Operational Impact How

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
