Mountain View Precast is committed to supporting sustainable construction practices through precast concrete, one of the most versatile and environmentally conscious building materials. By integrating sustainable practices into every phase of our production and project management processes, we contribute to greener construction.
Precast concrete structures can last over 100 years, reducing frequent replacements and repairs. This minimizes waste and conserves the energy and materials needed for rebuilding.
Precast concrete’s thermal mass helps regulate indoor temperatures, leading to reduced energy consumption for heating and cooling. This contributes to the overall energy efficiency of a building, lowering its carbon footprint.
Precast concrete products are manufactured off-site in a controlled environment, which means less waste is produced compared to traditional on-site construction methods.
Precast concrete plays a significant role in earning LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) points for sustainable building projects. Its performance in areas such as energy efficiency, resource management, and indoor environmental quality aligns with LEED rating system requirements, helping projects achieve higher levels of certification.
Mountain View Precast designs and manufactures precast concrete products that come with Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). These declarations provide transparent information about the environmental impact of our materials over their entire lifecycle, from production to disposal.
