Royal Concrete Concepts (RCC) has become a member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), joining a community of more than 15,000 member organizations dedicated to promoting environmentally responsible, healthy buildings that are also profitable.
"We're thrilled to join the USGBC. Sustainable building has always been integral to our business," said Director of Manufacturing Operations Dan Walesky. "RCC has a long history of applying its innovative modular buildings and pre-engineered wall panel and floor systems to the numerous industries."
RCC building products are designed and engineered to help project teams achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design points, from both energy and environmental standpoints. In the educational sector, RCC's sustainable, economical and versatile method of construction can be applied to individual classrooms, additions or entire school complexes. The modular buildings are constructed at Royal Concrete's facilities and then assembled on site. Compared to traditional methods, fewer trucks are required to travel on site, site construction is minimized, safety is increased and waste byproducts are reduced, saving time, money and the environment. The facilities are also energy-efficient and hurricane-resistant, making for more economical, safer learning environments. Taking its greening to a corporate level as well, Royal Concrete has implemented numerous environmentally friendly practices at its Okeechobee, Fla., manufacturing facility.
