Concrete masonry units (CMU) are one of the most thoroughly studied building materials in construction. Over the last several years, the industry has advanced that rigor by quantifying embodied carbon and carbon sequestration as part of broader decarbonization goals. A key finding has emerged from this work: Embodied carbon performance varies greatly across concrete products. […]
