Live Webinar - Getting Low-Carbon Concrete into Your Next Project: A Virtual Roundtable

THIS WEBINAR PURCHASE AND REGISTRATION IS CLOSED.

Concrete is one of the construction industry’s largest carbon emitters, responsible for about 5% to 8% of the world’s anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, yet it is also one of the most important building materials.

There are well-proven ways to reduce concrete’s carbon footprint, such as replacing portland cement with supplementary cementitious materials, but for years design teams have lacked the material innovations, policy advancements, and experience necessary to meet widespread, scalable carbon reduction goals.

In this one-hour deep dive, we’ll speak with industry experts on current and potential low-carbon concrete technologies, how to track concrete’s embodied carbon, and how to specify viable low-carbon concrete.

This virtual roundtable is not for beginners: our panel will assume you already know a fair bit about portland cement, concrete, and embodied carbon and are looking for practical takeaways that can be used in your next project. We’ll discuss things like:

  • The embodied carbon problem with current portland cement production

  • How to reduce portland cement in a concrete mix

  • Performance impacts of these substitutions

  • Tracking carbon using environmental product declarations and other tools

  • How codes impact concrete selection

  • Regional challenges

A brief Q&A will follow the panel discussion.
 

Here is your chance to:

  • Understand how portland cement impacts concrete’s embodied carbon.

  • Identify portland cement alternatives and other methods for reducing concrete’s embodied carbon.

  • Describe how performance versus prescriptive specifications impact codes and low-carbon concrete selection.

  • Evaluate low-carbon concrete selection methods based on region, product availability, performance, and other metrics.
