Concrete: meeting today's needs without compromising the future...

In response to growing environmental and economic forces, architects, engineers, developers and owners are seeking efficient, innovative building solutions that conserve non-renewable resources.

Increasingly, concrete is being recognized for its strong environmental benefits in support of creative and effective sustainable development.

When considering the lifetime environmental impact of a building materialextraction, production, construction, operation, demolition and recycling concrete is an excellent choice to meet these goals.

MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub

The CSH was established in late 2009 to better understand the sustainable attributes of concrete and the areas where they can be improved, and develop scientific breakthroughs at the atomistic level to make cement and concrete even more sustainable into the future.

Some environmental benefits of concrete

Concrete is produced locally from abundant natural resources

Concrete can be made with reclaimed industrial materials that would otherwise burden landfills

Recycled materials in concrete reduce CO2 emissions

At the end of a concrete building or pavements usable life, concrete can be recycled

Pervious concrete percolates stormwater into soil, recharging aquifers and preventing polluted runoff from overwhelming streams and lakes

Concretes thermal mass reduces temperature swings in buildings and conserves energy

Use of Insulating Concrete Forms for above-grade wall systems provides for increased R values, reducing heating, cooling and infrastructure costs

Concretes light color reduces the heat island effect, lowering urban energy use

Concretes light color reflects more light at night, reducing lighting infrastructure and energy costs

Impervious concrete roofs support green landscaping, reducing water runoff and reducing heat island effect

Concrete structures are durable

Concrete helps achieve LEED certification
