5 Most Americans believe that Cars and Trucks are the leading source of greenhouse gas emissions Survey conducted by Lake Research Partners, January 2007, 1,000 registered voters 2010 Concrete Sustainability Conference 5 National Ready Mixed Concrete Association

6 where in fact buildings consume the most energy and produce the most GHG emissions of any sector of the U.S. economy CO2 Emissions from Fossil Fuel Combustion by End-Use Sector, Concrete Sustainability Conference 6 National Ready Mixed Concrete Association

8 So what has happened since the 1973 Oil Embargo? U.S. net oil imports 28% in % in % in 2007 US U.S. energy consumption 20 quadrillion Btu in quadrillion Btu in quadrillion Btu in 2007 U.S. renewable energy consumption 8.4% of total U.S. energy demand in % of total t U.S. energy demand d in % of total U.S. energy demand in 2007 Source: Energy Information Administration 2010 Concrete Sustainability Conference 8 National Ready Mixed Concrete Association

16 The total value of Crude Oil Imported into the U.S. from (in chained 2000 dollars): $1.8 trillion This is arguably the largest transfer of wealth between nations in human history The U.S. ADDICTION to oil negatively affects our ECONOMY, our ENVIRONMENT, our HEALTH and WELL- BEING, and our NATIONAL SECURITY 2010 Concrete Sustainability Conference 16 National Ready Mixed Concrete Association

17 Curbing CO 2 emissions in the U.S. Electric Sector is a tough challenge Source: EPRI 2010 Concrete Sustainability Conference 17 National Ready Mixed Concrete Association

18 Many believe that it s not too late to make an impact though atmospheric CO 2 readings are already higher than ever Some believe we can stop CO 2 concentration at 450 ppm by ppm the average before the Industrial Revolution 387 ppm today s average 29% higher than the highest levels found in the last 650,000 years in Antarctic ice cores 25% of needed CO 2 reduction can be derived from 2 improving building energy performance Improving building efficiency offers the best ROI The game is on! ASHRAE standards will call for buildings to consume 70% less energy by 2016 Zero energy buildings are the next logical step and we will not get there without renewable energy Sources: UNEP; McKinsey; Yudelson & Associates; ASHRAE; RMI; IPCC 2010 Concrete Sustainability Conference 18 National Ready Mixed Concrete Association
