Powered by Climate Earth™, NRMCA®’s newly released Carbon Concrete Calculator™gives Ready Mix producers a simple and efficient way to optimize carbon for any project

Concrete producers can now assess the impact of reduced carbon alternatesand demonstrate compliance with any projects carbon budget

As Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are increasingly becoming the norm for everyday construction, digital analysis of carbon impacts becomes business critical. The ability for ready mix concrete producers to easily calculate the global warming potential (GWP) of every mix becomes a business imperative. With NRMCA’s Carbon Concrete Calculator, concrete producers can:

Reduce embodied carbon on building and paving projects

Collaborate on projects with designers and engineers to exceed carbon reduction goals

Compare baseline projects to proposed low-carbon projects

Benchmark against NRMCA,GSA, state and local…or set your own voluntary benchmarks for low carbon concrete

Calculate carbon footprint, from your EPDs or from mix design

Help write specifications for the lowest carbon footprint for concrete projects

“The Concrete Carbon Calculator provides members with an advanced digital tool to help them meet the growing demand for low carbon concrete and transparency. The Climate Earth team did an outstanding job working with us to define and develop this new online tool. I am very pleased with the result.”

Lionel Lemay, Executive Vice President/Division Head, Structures and Sustainability, NRMCA

“With increasing demand for reduced carbon, NRMCA saw the growing need for advanced digital analysis to help producers effectively bid and win these projects. Working closely with NRMCA expert guidance, I think we hit the mark providing a great deal of flexibility in project types while keeping the application easy to use”

Chris Erickson, President & CEO, Climate Earth
