Lafarge Precast proudly contributed to the construction of a total precast net-zero duplex, showcasing innovative sustainable building practices. This project featured R40 precast insulated wall panels and hollowcore floor systems, ensuring superior energy efficiency and structural performance. The duplex also included precast interior divider walls, stairs, and foundation panels, creating a fully integrated precast structure from top to bottom.
The building incorporates advanced sustainable technologies, including geothermal heating and solar power, reinforcing its net-zero energy design. This ensures that the home generates as much energy as it consumes, significantly reducing the environmental footprint and utility costs for its occupants.
Lafarge generously donated this duplex to Habitat for Humanity, directly benefiting two families within the community by providing safe, durable, and energy-efficient housing. This initiative not only highlights the potential of precast solutions in sustainable residential construction but also reflects Lafarge’s commitment to social responsibility and community support.
By integrating cutting-edge precast technology with renewable energy solutions, this project stands as a model for future sustainable housing developments, demonstrating how precast concrete can play a vital role in achieving net-zero goals.
