Check out Climate Earth’s upcoming webinar in our Leadership in Low Carbon Concrete webinar series.

In this webinar on Thursday, March 2nd, featuring Adam Neuwald of Concrete Supply Co., you will:

- See specific examples of how prescriptive specification limits the producers ability to deliver an optimal product

- Learn how performance specifications lead to better more sustainable concrete designs

Julie,

Roman invented concrete.

FYI…Below link describes how concrete get stronger as it cures.

>
> The majestic structures of ancient Rome have survived for millennia — a testament to the ingenuity of Roman engineers, who perfected the use of concrete.

Julie,

Today I read an article that is just about what CLF is about I.e., embodied carbon thru the entire life cycle. It is written by a good architect named Blaine Brownell.  
I shall try to fwd. it to you tomorrow.  
I deal with Andrew Himes who might be interested in it just as well as Kate S.

Ramesh
