Energy Efficiency and Sustainability in Concrete by citizenkaneg is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Concrete requires modest energy for its production and offers significant energy savings over the lifetime of a building. It is composed mainly of abundant local resources like water, sand, crushed stone, and cement. While cement production is energy intensive, concrete provides durable construction that reduces the need for maintenance and reconstruction. Concrete can also incorporate industrial byproducts and waste otherwise destined for landfills, offering environmental benefits.
