Session Overview: This action-oriented specifications workshop focuses on implementation of low embodied carbon concrete specifications. Together with regional leaders Diane Warner (NW Cement Council), Chris Bennett (Bennett Builds), Matt Hoffman (KPFF), Melissa Verwest (Knife River) and others, we’ll dig into how low-carbon concrete shows up in specs, procurement, and construction and how to scale it based on regional trends, project goals, and capacity.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to evaluate good, better, and best low-carbon concrete strategies through the lens of project type, risk,

  • schedule, and budget

  • What language works in specifications — and where teams commonly get stuck

  • Which questions to ask, when to ask them, and who to ask (engineers, suppliers, contractors, and owners)

  • throughout design and construction

  • How to align embodied carbon goals with constructability, availability, and regional market realities
