Sublime Systems’ Post

Innovative approach to reducing energy usage & carbon re new cement technology

Buildings are monument to the values of the people who build them. I am so proud to have the first commercial installation of Sublime Cement in the largest net-zero-carbon office building in Boston, at WS Development's One Boston Wharf. In the future we won’t need to designate net-zero-carbon buildings because it will be the norm. But it takes bold thinkers to move us into that future, and it was an honor to work with Yanni Tsipis on this, as someone who just “gets it.” Last week a consortium of Boston area architects, engineers, and builders from the Carbon Leadership Forum unveiled a report on what it takes to decarbonize concrete, and two things stood out to me as critical: --> Clear carbon reduction goals starting with the building owner --> Collaboration across the many players in the construction ecosystem who aren’t traditionally used to thinking about how they buy cement. This project perfectly exemplified both, thanks to incredible collaborators who made this happen, across Turner Construction Company, BOSTON SAND & GRAVEL CO, S&F Concrete Contractors, Corp, Gensler, and McNamara • Salvia, Structural Engineers. Check out the Carbon Leadership Forum report to learn more about the speedbumps for low-carbon cement deployment! https://lnkd.in/eZ3Np5dp

We are so pumped (see what I did there?) that our innovative partners in low-carbon concrete like Sublime Systems are really getting the attention they deserve! Looking forward to continuing to transform the built environment! #Construction #Sustainability #GreenBuilding #Turner #turneresg #buildingtodaytotransformtomorrow #BuildingtheFuture

From Scrap to Structure: Reusing Structural Steel in Construction Reusing structural steel offers a significant opportunity to minimize waste and environmental impact within the construction industry. This article by DBM Vircon explores the benefits and challenges of using reused structural steel in construction projects. #construction #sustainability #steelreuse #circulareconomy #reusejustmakesmoresense https://lnkd.in/gfk243tC

This surge in construction activity is driving up demand for ready-mix concrete, which offers a consistent and efficient solution for large-scale projects. 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬: While residential construction has traditionally been a major user of ready-mix concrete, the market is seeing a rise in demand from other sectors. Investments in commercial buildings, manufacturing facilities, and power plants are creating new opportunities for the industry. 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐏𝐮𝐬𝐡: There's a growing focus on eco-friendly construction practices. This is leading to the development of new, sustainable concrete mixes and advancements in recycling and reusing concrete waste. This trend is likely to shape the future of the Ready-Mix Concrete Market.

As the most highly used material in construction, concrete is a key component in the race to reduce carbon emissions. Baker Concrete Construction, the nation’s largest concrete contractor, is working to reduce concrete’s carbon footprint on multiple fronts. #TheBakerWay #Sustainability

History was made with the first pour of a portland-cement-free concrete in an actual building in the United States. Find out how C-Crete Technologies’ new “C-Crete” could lower carbon emissions and change the concrete market: https://bit.ly/48u0w0C.

How the ground engineering sector can decarbonise through efficient concrete use The construction industry should focus on reducing the use of new concrete before looking at lower carbon technologies, Ramboll Buildings decarbonisation lead Paul Astle told delegates at The Federation of Piling Specialists Concrete Forum 2024 last month. #groundengineering #concrete #decarbonise #piling #lowcarbon #concreteforum
