Concrete is a carbon-heavy material and is widely used. With continued focus on sustainability, industry experts have a plan to reach net zero—it starts with carbon accounting. Earlier this year, the Concrete Council of Canada shared its plan with the OAA at the Association’s annual conference held in Sudbury.

As architects and builders strive for net-zero emissions, they must find ways to reduce carbon in all building materials. Some materials, like concrete, are more challenging than others.
