USING CONCRETE TO COMPLY WITH THE INTERNATIONAL GREEN CONSTRUCTION CODE (IGCC) AND ASHRAE 189.1

Abstract eng:
The first green code-intended standard for commercial buildings, ASHRAE/USGBC/IES Standard 189.1 - High Performance Green Buildings, was first published in 2009. The International Green Construction Code (IgCC) was first published in 2012. ASHRAE 189.1 is a compliance option of the IgCC. This paper provides information on how the attributes of concrete and masonry can be used to comply with the criteria in the IgCC and ASHRAE 189.1. These attributes include heat island mitigation, stormwater management, energy efficiency, acoustical control, low-emitting materials, construction waste, recycled content, regional (indigenous) content, life cycle assessment, and service life.
