The MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub will hold its next public Webinar, Reducing the Environmental Impact of Concrete Through Performance-based Specifications, on Thursday, July 18, at 11 a.m. Eastern time. This Webinar will provide a general overview of performance-based specifications. A review of the state of prescription in a sampling of project specifications will be first discussed. An approach to implement performance-based specifications consistent with ACI Codes and Specifications will be outlined. The attendee learning objectives are:
• Understand how performance-based specifications can help lower GHG emissions and improve sustainability in concrete;
• Recognize the synergy between performance-based specifications and quality, cost, and performance; and
• Evolve design office specifications to reduce prescription with alternative performance-based requirements.
The Webinar will be presented jointly by Colin Lobo, Ph.D., P.E., NRMCA executive vice president of engineering, and Karthik Obla, Ph.D., P.E., NRMCA vice president, technical services.
