This presentation offers a detailed discussion of new innovations being used today to deliver thermally efficient, total precast concrete K-12 schools. The presentation uses case studies to demonstrate the sustainability and resilience aspects of the total precast systems. Examples of significant cost savings, energy savings, reduced site disturbance and truncated construction schedules will be illustrated.

• Understanding total precast concrete building systems in K-12 schools using load-bearing insulated wall panels and double tee floors/roof.
• Examine, by case studies of completed K-12 schools, system design, detailing, aesthetic possibilities and life-cycle costs reductions.
• Demonstrate potential energy savings and construction costs savings through the use of total precast concrete insulated enclosures.
• Explain sustainability and resilience aspects of precast concrete and how the system can help meet increasing energy code requirements.
