Build With Strength Senior Director, Building Innovations, Patrick Matsche met recently with members of the AEC firm Morrison Hershfield’s architecture and structural engineering team in its Salt Lake City offices. With a stated goal of “thriving in an increasingly competitive and uncertain world, we must truly stand apart from our competition,” Morrison Hershfield sought information on low carbon concrete and what the industry is doing to advance sustainability.
Matsche presented the Top 10 Ways to Reduce Concrete’s Carbon Footprint and encouraged the use of Build With Strength’s performance-based specification review and consulting services to create low carbon concrete specifications in lieu of unnecessarily prescriptive language that impacts the global reduction targets and goals of their its projects. NRMCA’s Build with Strength and Pave Ahead platforms offers design teams a range of education, promotion and execution support. The meeting provided valuable education to the firm and promoted concrete as the building material of choice.
