SEAoNY Sustainable Design Committee Presents:
Specification Writing Advice for More Sustainable Concrete Projects
DATE: March 21, 2023 TIME: 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm Zoom Webinar
Structural Engineers have the opportunity to include language in project specifications that will influence the selection of materials by the procurement team. When carefully researched, the specification team can identify concrete suppliers that will offer products manufactured with the lowest impact to the environment.
In this webinar, the presenters will offer the appropriate background information and potential approaches to defining embodied carbon limits within the concrete specs that can be used to determine the acceptance of suppliers and products. They will also outline two approaches for including these embodied carbon limits and discuss the pros and cons of each approach.
