Supporting innovative low-carbon materials and technologies is one smart way to meet construction demand while minimizing environmental impact. The concepts of “operational carbon” and “embodied carbon” have been adopted by the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) community to distinguish between carbon reduction stemming from material choice and building operation. Incorporating new technologies like Isobloc ZÉRO…

With 70 per cent of the global population projected to live in urban areas by 2050, resilient and sustainable construction is crucial to meeting our current and future infrastructure needs. While concrete has been proven to be one of the most resilient building materials available, its massive environmental impact must be addressed to justify its…
Cement-based concrete is the most-used manmade material on the planet, but it is responsible for 8% of annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions each year. Over 90% of these emissions are due to the use of cement, a key binding agent in concrete. Innovative technologies that replace cement are crucial for reducing the impact of our…
