Abstract:
To meet LEED requirements, practitioners must design and specify systems with attributes listed as desirable by the USGBC. Tilt-up concrete walls can help contribute LEED points in several categories through their durability, ease of recycling, ability to help moderate temperature swings, recycled materials content, and use of local materials. A brief introduction to these categories is provided in this article.
