Webinar to Discuss Using Concrete in Green Building
The Portland Cement Association (PCA), a founding member of the Concrete Home Building Council, will be holding an hour-long webinar on how concrete home building technologies can be used to meet National Green Building Standard requirements.
The webinar will begin at 11:00 a.m. EDT on Thursday, May 14.
The webinar, “Concrete Solutions for the National Green Building Standard,” will feature a panel of PCA experts.
Participants will learn about the sustainable impact of concrete products in home building, including how to:
- Use concrete retaining walls to create more buildable area on steeply sloped sites
- Reduce storm water infrastructure expenses with pervious concrete pavement
- Reduce on-site trades with prefinished systems for walls, floors and paving
- Offer durable, rich looking, easy-to-maintain finishes
- Reduce coordination issues, saving time and money during construction
- Enhance a builder’s reputation through the performance, value and quality of concrete homes
