The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association is incredibly proud to showcase a new groundbreaking project marking the first New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity home utilizing #ECOPact low-carbon concrete from HolcimUS. A part of the Build With Strength program, this concrete and ICF home is a brilliant example of building "towards the future" – using a combination of cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency, disaster resiliency and sustainable building for an area heavily affected by storms and floods. Being able to work with partners including BuildBlock ICFs, Auburn University Rural Studio, Insulating Concrete Form Manufacturers Association & more helps to share light on an alternative, better way of building to ensure our future homes are safe for incoming families, and last for many years to come. This build proudly features Holcim's ECOPact low-carbon concrete - a mix that delivers a 30% reduction in carbon while still delivering full strength concrete. Combined with BuildBlock ICFs strong walls for resiliency and long-lasting design, this home is an incredible feat of the concrete industry's drive in creating safe, affordable, and future-ready structures. Since 2014, National Ready Mixed Concrete Association Members have reduced carbon emissions by 21% nationwide – one of Build With Strength's goals is to cut our emissions down to zero by 2050 and this project marks another brilliant milestone in getting closer to that goal. Thank you to all who were involved in this project and video production: Greg Sessa of HolcimUS, Brian Corder of BuildBlock ICFs, Marguerite Oestreicher and Bradley Holland of New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity, Michael Philipps and Michael Wymant with the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association, Build With Strength, Auburn University Rural Studio, Habitat for Humanity International, Insulating Concrete Form Manufacturers Association, American Concrete Pumping Association, SMECO CONCRETE PUMPING LLC., Our Rental Pumps & more!

#NRMCA to Reimagine Developing Industry Leaders Program – https://bit.ly/3APsAz6 "For two decades NRMCA’s Developing Industry Leaders program has fostered cohorts of talented and knowledgeable leaders in the concrete industry. The Association aims to ensure that this program continues to provide members with value and the tools that they need to push themselves and the entire industry forward. To achieve this goal, NRMCA’s Learning and Development Team has decided to temporarily pause this year’s Developing Industry Leaders program so that it can be improved and revitalized for its return in 2025. The driving force behind this reimagining of the program will be the voice of the members. On Sunday, October 13, from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Mountain Time during #ConcreteWorks, members can participate in the Future Leaders Reimagined workshop to express their desires and suggestions for the future of the program." Interested in attending? See the full ConcreteWorks 2024 schedule here: https://bit.ly/3z6UJBf #Developing #Industry #Leaders #DIL #CWorks24 #NRMCA2024

Thank you to Sam Fertik and Sam Carvalho of Carbon Custom Builders for recently hosting yet another Connecticut Concrete Promotion Council "Coffee & Concrete" tour of an insulated concrete forms (ICF) home in Greenwich, Connecticut. ☕ 🍩 Members of JCJ ARCHITECTURE, ARCAT and the Hartford CSI Chapter were on hand to listen to Carbon Custom Builders and Connecticut Concrete Promotion Council member Nudura Insulated Concrete Forms' Ken Lynch explain the advantages of concrete construction utilizing ICFs. Carbon Custom Builders has a great formula in place marrying ICF construction with solid steel supports to provide a solid, resilient, energy-saving home. Owner Sam Fertik commented that Carbon Custom Builders not only builds high end residential concrete homes, but now has mid-rise commercial projects on the boards. Thank you guys for being great hosts again!

Nothing like a sweltering summer to motivate climate action! ☀ Our VP of Policy and Public Affairs Simon G. Brandler recently attended a White House convening of leaders dedicated to decarbonizing the cement and concrete sector. The White House is taking the show on the road with a series of regional events on low-carbon concrete with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), RMI, NRMCA Group and many others. Next stop: Los Angeles on Aug 27. Our very own Gabriel Gonzalez will be there with other West Coast leaders talking about new solutions and how to advance the clean industrial revolution.
