COLLABORATING FOR LOWER CARBON CONCRETE - Chapter Meeting
Join us in welcoming Dave Walsh, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, Sustainability Consultant with Dave Walsh Consulting. Learn about the unique role specifiers, the design team, contractors, and suppliers have in reaching a project’s carbon reduction goals for concrete. Dave will also talk about early project design decisions and their impact on carbon, options for setting baselines, reduction targets and communicating them to contractors, how specifications can enable options to reduce carbon, and the contractor strategies to reduce carbon before and during construction. This presentation is not specific to a particular manufacturer, rather it addresses widely applicable strategies and key actions in design and construction to reduce embodied carbon in concrete.
