This course provides a Canada-focused overview of sustainability initiatives across the cement, concrete, precast, and construction sectors aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving net-zero targets. It highlights industry-wide efforts in Canada to reduce embodied carbon through Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), evolving design and procurement practices, and real-world decarbonization strategies including the ConcreteZero Action Plan and precast innovation. It also emphasizes how producers, contractors, and industry organizations across Canada are collaborating to improve transparency, benchmarking, and carbon reduction in construction materials.

1. Explain embodied carbon fundamentals and Canada’s use of EPDs to track and reduce emissions in cement and concrete.
2. Describe Canada’s ConcreteZero Action Plan and key industry-wide decarbonization strategies.
3. Summarize sustainable innovations in Canadian precast concrete and construction practices.
4. Recognize how procurement, design decisions, and performance-based specifications influence carbon reduction outcomes.
