Continuing Education Opportunities
In addition to the 2 AIA-accredited presentations described below, the CNCA offers presentations on a wide variety of cement and concrete related topics including cement production, understanding, measuring, and reducing environmental impacts of cement and concrete, Supplementary Cementitious Materials, our Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality, and many others.
Blended Cement: A Pivotal Step in Reducing Embodied Carbon in Concrete
As the foundation of modern society, concrete is the most widely used construction material on earth. Even small changes to its formulation can dramatically affect the construction industry's carbon footprint over time. By preferring the use of blended cements to replace Portland cement, architects and engineers will enable meaningful reductions in CO2 emissions while still achieving durability and resiliency.
Collaborating with Contractors for Lower Carbon Concrete:
Assure that your sustainability goals with concrete are carried through construction. With an increasing number of architectural and engineering firms making commitments to lower embodied carbon, it is essential that these objectives are effectively coordinated with contractors. This presentation provides practical guidelines to assure that sustainability targets are achieved.
