NRMCA Senior Director, Building Innovations, Brandon Wray recently presented to members of the American Society of Civil Engineers' (ASCE) Structural Engineering Institute's (SEI) North American Structural Engineering Sustainability Symposium where he discussed the foundational prospectus that we are 25 years away from the collective 2050 net zero targets set by various industry groups. That talking point then segued into actionable items that designers can implement to keep this process moving forward.
Wray focused on the importance of designers working alongside producers and concrete industry experts to efficiently plan and execute low carbon concrete projects. Foundational talking points included collaboration around incorporating performance-based specifications and establishing holistic carbon budgets. Such actions ultimately result in projects that allow the concrete producers and contractors to strategically and surgically incorporate low carbon concrete in the most effective manner possible, stated Wray.
