NRMCA’s Patrick Matsche, Brandon Wray and Donn Thompson recently presented at Microsoft’s quarterly meeting of its national and global sustainability design build teams. Matsche and Wray discussed Reducing Concrete’s Carbon Impact with two sessions held over multiple days via webinars. The presentations focused on the role of NRMCA as the voice of the ready mixed concrete industry, education and promotion offerings, and the codes and standards platforms of Build With Strength and PaveAhead.
The impact of Reducing Concrete’s Carbon Impact for the international design build community reinforced Microsoft’s commitment to reducing the embodied carbon of concrete used as the building material of choice throughout the United States and abroad. Possible U.S. project locations include Texas, Wisconsin, Virginia and other Eastern seaboard states, to name a few, Matsche said.
NRMCA’s invitation to address the sustainability groups’ quarterly meeting follows a yearslong effort of Build With Strength and PaveAhead to support the design build community’s drive to a low carbon future. “The impact of the disruptors and investor class within the ESG and sustainability movement to adopt SE2050 goals affords the NRMCA a unique opportunity to position concrete as the low carbon building material of choice,” Wray said.
