Reducing Carbon in Concrete: Design Considerations

Posted: 15/09/2026

Join the Irish Concrete Society in October for a focused seminar series exploring how design teams can make practical, informed decisions to reduce the carbon associated with concrete use.

Across three online sessions, experienced industry professionals will share insights on standards and materials, decarbonising design, and on-site practicalities. Attendees will gain clear direction, real-world perspectives and practical guidance to support more sustainable concrete design decisions.

Why attend?
  • Understand practical opportunities to reduce embodied carbon in the design and use of concrete.
  • Learn from real-world perspectives across materials, design, construction and research.
  • Apply clear, practical guidance to support more informed and sustainable project decisions.
