Responsibility. Reliability. Sustainability.

The Brundland Commission defined sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the needs of future generations to meet their own needs.” In other words, sustainability is our capacity to endure. As an industry. As a society. And as a people. We do this by making the most of our resources and by recycling and reusing materials whenever possible in a responsible and efficient manner.

Metromont is a leading provider of precast, prestressed concrete building systems, which offer a host of inherent sustainability benefits both during the construction process and long after the building or structure has been completed. Through thermal efficiency, recycled content, local materials, minimal waste and more, we help enhance each building’s sustainability and assist in contributing to LEED® points, Energy Star ratings, Green GlobesTM assessments and ASHRAE standards.

Making Sustainability Work for You

The embodied energy of a building is equal to all the processes associated with creating that building. From the mining of raw materials to manufacturing, transportation and installation. Metromont incorporates a number of practices in order to help minimize the embodied energy of each project we work on:

  • Offsite Manufacturing and Minimal Waste
  • Water Recycling and Aggregate Reclaiming
  • Use of Local/Regional Materials
  • Reduced Materials: Less concrete with C-Grid reinforcement and thin brick
  • Using Materials with Recycled Content
  • Minimal Site Disturbance: Ability to install components from within building footprint
  • Continuous Insulation: Meets or exceeds ASHRAE Energy Standards
  • Minimizing Air Infiltration: Through the use of large wall panels
  • Maximizing Thermal Efficiency: Through mass walls and continuous insulation
