The Concrete Producer Selects 2009 GreenSite Awards
The Concrete Producer and Concrete Construction magazines selected projects in eight categories for its Second Annual GreenSite Awards. The projects best exemplify the concrete production industry’s contribution to sustainable construction.
Washington, DC (PRWEB) November 5, 2009 -- The Concrete Producer and Concrete Construction magazines selected projects in eight categories for its Second Annual GreenSite Awards. The projects best exemplify the concrete production industry’s contribution to sustainable construction.
Among the projects chosen were a fine arts center in Illinois, an office tower in Toronto, Canada, a parking lot in Glendale, Ariz., a home to a science academy in San Francisco, a multi-use high-rise in Pittsburgh, and a residence in Wilmington, N.C. Many of the winners already have been certified as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) projects by the U.S. Green Building Council.
In their submissions, producers and contractors demonstrated how they help these projects’ owners and engineers qualify for the important designation by using a variety of sustainable construction methods and materials. For example, the winning projects used recycled materials such as fly ash, insulating concrete forms, pervious concrete, and regionally selected aggregate supplies.
“The 2009 GreenSite Projects of the Year demonstrate that the concrete production industry can be influential in sustainable construction in North America,” said Rick Yelton, editor in chief of The Concrete Producer, the leading publication for the concrete production industry. “The concrete industry is pleased to play a vital role in helping to construct these important projects that stand out as examples of how serious society takes its role in creating a sustainable environment for future generations.”
The winning projects will be featured in the November-December 2009 issue of The Concrete Producer and the November 2009 issue of Concrete Construction. GreenSite is a cooperative venture between the magazines and Hanley Wood’s World of Concrete trade show, which takes place Feb. 2-5 in Las Vegas.
The projects will be displayed at World of Concrete’s GreenSite Luncheon and Forum on Feb. 4. The event will highlight how concrete contractors have benefited from sustainable construction.
World of Concrete attendees will also have a chance to visit products, services, and technologies in a special GreenSite exhibit on the show floor.
