Spancrete Insulated Wall Panels cut energy costs to the core. In fact, they have greater lifetime cost efficiency and insulate better than any other wall construction system. In addition, these Insulated Wall Panels are pre-manufactured, so we can meet construction scheduling and speed up the completion of your building.

resistance helps reduce insurance premiums while maintaining structural integrity after a fire, accelerating both cleanup and reoccupancy. And finally, the combination of a concrete panel and insulating material effectively reduces sound transmission, keeping intrusive noise to a minimum.

SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES WITH SPANCRETE® HOLLOWCORE

WHAT IS SUSTAINABILITY?In 1987, the United Nations Brundtland Commission Report declared:“Sustainable development” is that which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

WHAT IS GREEN BUILDING DESIGN?“Green Building Design” is design and construction practice that reduces the unsustainable negative impact of the construction and operation of buildings on the environment. It addresses not only environmental impact, but also considers societal and economic factors that create benefits for all building stakeholders.

WHAT IS LEED?In 1998, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) developed a standard called “LEED” or “Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design” to define and measure green building design practices. The LEED system addresses sustainable building practices in 6 key areas:

1. Sustainable Sites2. Water Efficiency3. Energy and Atmosphere4. Materials and Resources5. Indoor Environmental Quality6. Innovation in Design

HOW CAN SPANCRETE CONTRIBUTE TO SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES?SPANCRETE CAN CONTRIBUTE IN 3 KEY AREAS:

1. Sustainable Design with Spancrete

� � Spancrete hollowcore plank can maximize floor spans (span to depth ratio up to 50), which reduces the amount of support structure and footings in a building.

� � Large clear span design also facilitates future remodeling and reuse of the building.

� � Spancrete easily accommodates design features such as underground or tuck-under parking to reduce site disturbance and hardscape.

� ��8VH of high strength ASTM A416 prestressing strands uses much less steel than an equivalent CIP deck with reinforcing bars and composite steel decking.

2. Sustainable Product Performance with Spancrete

��,Q Spancrete Wall Panels, high levels of continuous insulation and thermal mass improves the energy performance of the entire building, and may allow heating and cooling demands to be downsized.

��,Q Spancrete Wall Panels, many attractive low maintenance and durable concrete finishes are available, eliminating the need for painting, brick veneers, EIFS, & stuccos; conserving materials and eliminating site disturbance, dust and runoff from on-site work.

Efficiency Any Way You Lay It

Spancrete® Hollowcore Insulated Wall Panels are so versatile they can be installed either horizontally or vertically while either load bearing or non load bearing. Therefore, they are the ideal building material for warehouses, manufacturing plants, schools, retail stores, municipalities, office buildings, recreational facilities and virtually any other architectural application that calls for strength, beauty, durability and speed of construction. Spancrete Insulated Wall Panels give

construction as well as in renovations

The panels are stored off-site and delivered when you are ready for them, reducing job site congestion. They can be installed any time of year with minimal labor and equipment.

Once in place and caulked, Spancrete wall panels provide a weatherproof enclosure that allows other trades to begin work immediately in a protected environment. Each panel’s flat interior wall surface can be painted or coated directly without further preparation.

The Spancrete System

have been producing quality hollowcore products. Spancrete® Hollowcore Insulated Wall Panels are produced to precise dimensional tolerances by the Spancrete

concrete hollowcore slab machine.

The Process: Wire strands are positioned on the bed and tension is applied, prestressing the strands. The Spancrete machine simultaneously places three layers of zero-slump concrete, forming a monolithic, high-strength slab. A layer of rigid thermal insulation is then applied on top of the

layer is produced and tied to the hollowcore slab with C-hooks, “sandwiching” the insulation.

over the insulation.

The Spancrete Manufacturers Association maintains a continual research and development program to ensure the finest precast, prestressed concrete wall panel production possible.

Wall Panel Insulating ValuesSpancrete insulated wall panel construction provides insulating values that effectively reduce heating and cooling losses through walls, resulting in increased energy savings and greater cost efficiency over the life of the building.
