Meeting the needs of today without
compromising the needs of tomorrow

Sustainability is commonly defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. However, today’s reality shows that humanity is utilizing resources at a rate 20% higher than the planet can regenerate. This overuse of resources has a profound impact on the environment, particularly in the construction and operation of buildings.

In many countries, the environmental footprint of buildings is significant. In the United States, for instance, buildings are responsible for consuming 65% of the electricity generated and more than 36% of the primary energy. This massive energy consumption is coupled with substantial greenhouse gas emissions, as buildings account for 30% of the country’s total emissions.

At Solar Erectors, we recognize the critical role the construction industry plays in addressing these environmental challenges. We are dedicated to implementing sustainable practices in our precast concrete installation projects to minimize our ecological impact and promote resource efficiency. By prioritizing sustainability, we aim to contribute to a healthier planet while delivering durable, high-performance structures that meet today’s needs and safeguard the well-being of future generations.

How using precast
concrete can help

Building materials significantly influence the environmental footprint of a building throughout its construction and operational lifecycle. Selecting the right materials is essential for creating sustainable structures that minimize ecological impact. Precast concrete stands out in this regard due to its inherent properties that align with sustainable building practices.

Precast concrete is not only durable and long-lasting, but it also offers excellent thermal mass, which can contribute to energy efficiency by reducing heating and cooling demands. Its production process can be carefully controlled to minimize waste and utilize recycled materials, thus decreasing resource consumption. Additionally, the off-site fabrication of precast concrete elements reduces on-site waste, construction time, and disturbances to the local environment.

By choosing precast concrete, builders and developers can achieve a balance between performance and sustainability, ensuring that their projects meet both present and future needs without compromising environmental integrity.

Precast concrete contributes to sustainable practices by:

Incorporating integrated design
Using materials efficiently
Reducing construction waste, site disturbance and noise
