Join COTE for an educational session about low carbon concrete during our August Monthly Meeting.
What is sustainable concrete? It is difficult to define. There are many factors that can influence the way concrete is manufactured, designed, built, used and recycled that ultimately affect the environmental footprint of concrete and the structures built with concrete. Architects can influence the performance and environmental impact of structures through effective design and specifications.
Learning Objectives
•Understand the difference between performance-based specification and prescriptive specifications
•Discover how performance-based specifications can improve performance and lower environmental impact of concrete structures.
•Learn how to implement performance-based specifications in projects.
•Demonstrate the importance of balancing structural and architectural performance of concrete with green building strategies.
