National Ready Mixed Concrete Association’s Post

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!
