    • Abstract:
      The author reflects on the U.S. architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) community leaders' appreciation of the material environmental metrics of cement, steel, aluminum and wood as of December 2019. Topics covered include the thrust to improve carbon dioxide emissions accounting via the Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3), the free Beacon EC measurement and optimization tool, and the work-in-progress Bay Area Low-Carbon Concrete Code.
