As members of AltusGroup, Mid-States Concrete Industries is proud to share a new Continuing Education opportunity, sponsored by AltusGroup - Strategies for Reducing Embedded and Operational Carbon in Precast Wall Panels.

About the Course
Concrete is an essential part of modern buildings. As Net Zero Energy buildings become more common, it is crucial to find ways to reduce concrete’s carbon footprint without losing the performance characteristics that make it valuable to the building team. This course will explain the sources of concrete’s carbon footprint and explore strategies for reducing embodied carbon and operational carbon in precast sandwich wall panels and insulated architectural cladding.

Learning Objectives

1. Recall the concept of Net Zero Buildings.

2. Discover how the building envelope affects the carbon footprint of the building system.

3. Explore options for reducing the embedded carbon in precast concrete wall panels.

4. Explain the benefits of insulated precast walls toward reducing operational carbon.
