• Identify at least three strategies for reducing embodied carbon in precast concrete, including low-carbon cements mixes and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs).
• Evaluate the performance benefits of pozzolans and blended cements in landscape applications.​
• Apply appropriate specification language to ensure low-carbon precast concrete is clearly required in project documents.
• Anticipate emerging technologies and industry commitments that are shaping the future of sustainable concrete.
