Abstract:
This presentation will discuss how slag cement and other supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) can help reduce the carbon impact of concrete products and show attendees how to use industry wide documents and tools. Topics covered include: • Key terms and definitions commonly used when discussing the carbon impact of concrete; • How initiatives like the LEED point system, Architecture 2030, and the Carbon Leadership Forum are influencing the use of concrete materials; • How to reduce the carbon impact of concrete using SCMs like slag cement; and • How to use product specific information on slag cement including EPDs and LCA Calculator tools to show customers sustainable and durable options for concrete.
