NRMCA, Build With Strength Discuss Low Carbon Concrete at Green Building Council Roundtable

 The U.S. Green Building Council’s Los Angeles chapter recently held a roundtable event in which low carbon concrete was the focal point of discussion, reports NRMCA Senior Director, Building Innovations, Brandon Wray. Attendees and organizers acknowledged the important role concrete has played and will continue to play in shaping the built environment.

In keeping with the architecture, engineering and contractor industry’s gravitation toward sustainable and environmentally-focused design decisions, low carbon concrete is continually highlighted as a present-day solution. Roundtable participants (seen here) explored pathways, strategies and hurdles to incorporating low carbon concrete into local supply chains. Build With Strength sponsored the event and kicked things off with opening remarks from Wray who highlighted the importance of transitioning toward performance-based specifications while offering NRMCA’s expert guidance in navigating designers toward efficient, sustainable and resilient concrete.

Panelists for the event included leaders from NRMCA member companies CalPortland, National Ready Mixed Concrete Company and Holliday Rock along with industry affiliate the California Nevada Cement Association.
