This module examines how concrete specifications and submittal processes directly influence carbon outcomes, constructability, and project risk. Participants explore performance-based and carbon-focused specifications, service life considerations, and the practical challenges of implementing low-carbon concrete. The module also addresses legal responsibility and accountability when sustainability or low-carbon criteria are not achieved, emphasizing real-world roles, documentation, and risk management.

1. Differentiate between prescriptive and performance-based specifications and their impact on low-carbon concrete outcomes.
2. Identify how specification language, submittals, and service life requirements influence carbon reduction and concrete performance.
3. Evaluate the roles and responsibilities of designers, contractors, suppliers, and owners when low-carbon criteria are specified.
4. Apply best practices for managing risk, documentation, and accountability when sustainability goals are not met.
