1 Scaling Up Energy Efficiency for Climate Change Mitigation Frank O Brien-Bernini, Owens Corning Chief Sustainability Officer

2 Context a private sector view Strong global macro trends Energy use & availability Climate change Population / global consumption Presenting a massive opportunity in our markets Desire to achieve sustainability Energy efficiency interest public and private Green building & renewables demand Winning with green today! Pink-is-Green our business and communication strategy Scaling Up Energy Efficiency for Climate Change Mitigation

3 Owens Corning Sustainability Business Strategy 1. Greening our Operations 2. Greening our Products 3. Accelerating energy efficiency improvements in the built environment

4 Greening Our Operations: Energy Intensity Reduction is a Key Driver Energy Intensity % Energy Intensity Reduction $5 million EBIT Intensity Reduction 2012 Energy 25% GHG 30% PM 20% VOC 25% Water 15% Landfill 35% NOx 25%

5 Low Cost / No Cost Solutions Thousands of engaged employees reducing energy use and sharing results

6 Proven Solutions Energy Project Portfolio Annual Investment ($ in millions) Investment Savings Executed Portfolio Savings ($ in millions) Forecast 0 A pipeline of rapid-return capital projects

7 Proprietary Technology and Processes 55 Recycled Glass Use in Insulation Percent More than 1 billion lbs/yr Insulation Furnace Composites Furnace Leading Edge Technology Energy and emissions reduction Manufacturing cost reduction Capacity increase Longer asset life

8 Greening our Products: Leading in green / sustainable building Common themes include products that 1. Save Energy or Water 2. Use Salvaged, Recycled or Agricultural Waste Content 3. Conserve Natural Resources through 1. Reducing Material Usage 2. Exceptional Durability or Low Maintenance 4. Avoid Toxic or Other Emissions 5. Contribute to Safe, Healthy Indoor Environment 6. Are Reusable or Recyclable at End of Life Compelling Products & Messaging that cuts through

9 Winning the Green Beauty Contest
