520 |a"A large amount of carbon emissions is generated by the harvesting, transportation, manufacture and end of life disposal/recycling of construction materials. These emissions are referred to as "embodied carbon" and are measured using a technique called life cycle assessment (LCA). As buildings become more efficient in their annual operating energy and thus lower their operational carbon, the construction industry and policy makers around the world have become increasingly concerned with the growing relative impacts of embodied carbon. … There are numerous strategies that can be used to reduce the embodied carbon of concrete, many of which can be accomplished for no additional cost and with minimal performance impacts. This primer has been developed to assist government officials to better understand these strategies in support of updating procurement policies and procedures towards the goal of lowering embodied carbon from concrete in government construction. This primer can also be used as a discussion point between government project owners and designers"--Executive summary, page 1.
