Build With Strength Webinar Series Continues Throughout May and June

The Build With Strength (BWS) webinar series continues today Wednesday, May 6, at 2 p.m. Eastern time with Life Cycle Assessment of Concrete Buildings led by James Bogdan. This presentation examines the environmental attributes of concrete that help reduce the overall environmental life cycle impacts of a building and how life cycle assessment can be used to measure and lower these impacts.

The next presentation in the series is scheduled for Wednesday, May 13, also at 2 p.m. Eastern time. The Balanced Design Approach to Fire Safety: How Concrete Buildings can Reduce Risk will be presented by Shamim Rashid-Sumar. Registration is also available for additional BWS webinars in May and June.
