PROSOCO Component Spotlight: Do You Know What’s In YOUR Low-Carbon Cement?

Cement producers have been changing mixes to reduce carbon emissions, but many architects and builders still aren’t aware of these changes and how their projects are affected. That’s wild considering at least 70% of new construction projects today are using a low-carbon cement!

Here’s what Passive House builders and designers may have already noticed:

-Longer cure times

-Issues like delamination and premature cracking

-Concrete takes in far more chemical inputs than usual (as much as 3 to 4 times)

This huge knowledge gap is the reason why Bruce Ferrell, a technical concrete flooring specialist for PROSOCO, has been called on to troubleshoot hundreds of projects in recent years to figure out why concrete is behaving and performing in ways that project teams have never seen before. Join Bruce Ferrell as he explains the various types of low-carbon cements, describes the problems he’s seeing on jobsites across the country, tells all about the materials being tested as low-carbon cement fillers, and answers your questions in this Component Spotlight.

WARNING: Things will get geeky!
