Sustainable Design and Angelus Block Products: Contributing to Green Building
Introduction: Sustainable Design | Low Impact Development | High Performance Building | Green Building
However named or focused, the practice of environmentally responsible and resource-efficient design and construction is no longer a call to future action. It is present reality.
Owners and designers face challenges in balancing project marketability, aesthetics, structure, and material economics with sustainability, while having to filter through an onslaught of green claims and suddenly green products.
Fortunately, a sensible and profitable equilibrium is attainable by incorporating the right mix of mainstream products and systems. Angelus product lines have exceptional value in achieving that balance with natural, inherent qualities, combining multiple beneficial functions into single systems, while advancing life cycle and life safety programming.
Recognizing green-compatible properties and harnessing them is creatively responsible, and takes fully pragmatic advantage of local availability.
We further enhance their sustainable attributes with a continuing investment into research and integration of market-suitable recycling efforts. Several products and facilities are
now incorporating recovered, recycled materials as aggregate replacement, reducing virgin aggregate demand and in some cases reducing the virgin cement requirements as well.
