Did you know that embodied carbon is expected to account for nearly half of all carbon emissions from building construction over the next 40 years? Concrete is the most significant contributor to embodied carbon, alongside steel and wood.

This AIA-accredited presentation details how to accurately measure the carbon impact of concrete using Environmental Product Declarations, and explores solutions available today to reduce that impact, including CO₂ mineralization with CarbonCure.

CarbonCure injects captured carbon dioxide (CO₂) as an admixture into concrete, where the CO₂ becomes permanently mineralized and embedded in the concrete.

Live attendees will be eligible to receive a continuing education certificate.

• Understand the impact of embodied carbon from the built environment and describe the means through which cement manufacturing contributes to embodied carbon.
• Use assessment and reporting resources such as Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to evaluate the environmental impact of building materials.
• Explore the innovative method of CO₂ mineralization as a means to reduce embodied carbon in concrete production, and describe the method’s impact on the fresh and hardened properties of concrete.
• Embrace best practices in concrete design to reduce the carbon impact of concrete, and empower concrete producers to adopt lower carbon solutions while ensuring concrete performance requirements are maintained.
