Sustainable Architecture, also known as "Green Building" or "Green Architecture", is a general term that describes environmentally-conscious design techniques in the field of architecture.

Like all manufactured products, the production and use of precast concrete building systems imposes environmental demands. Precast concrete offers a dramatic range of colours, finishes and unlimited design possibilities difficult to match with any other material, while creating structures that can provide superior environmental and energy performance from a life cycle perspective. Precast concrete offers a competitive building solution based on first cost, long-term economic benefits, energy efficiency, lower maintenance and overall operating costs as well as opportunities for future reuse when the occupancy of a building changes.

The Canadian cement industry’s environmental record is continuously improving.
