Key guidance
BROCHURES FROM THE CONCRETE CENTRE
Guidance that balances the desire to specify concrete with low environmental impact, whilst
ensuring other performance parameters are optimised, can be summarised as follows:
Do
Specifying Sustainable Concrete
not over-specify strength.
the possibility of strength conformity

at 56 days rather than the conventional 28 days.
Specify
responsibly-sourced concrete and

reinforcement.
Do
not specify aggregate sizes below 10mm

unless necessary.
Permit
the use of recycled or secondary

aggregates but do not over specify.
Specify
that concrete should always contain

CEM II/CEM III or an addition.
Embodied
CO2 (ECO2) of concrete should not

be considered or specified in isolation of other
factors such as strength gain.
Permit
Specify
BES 6001 responsibly-sourced concrete

and reinforcement to gain maximum credits
under BREEAM and the Code for Sustainable
Homes.
Thermal Performance:
Part L1A 2013
Consider
the use of admixtures.
The
specification of recycled and secondary

aggregates is often not the most sustainable
option, although it may gain most points.
BS 8500 allows producers to use up to 20%
of recycled aggregates in concrete, they do this
when it is available.
Office Cost Study
The
BRE Green Guide does not recognise the

availability or otherwise of recycled product
when incentivising the use of recycled content.
Recycled aggregates should only be specified
when they are locally available, otherwise
transportation impacts exceed benefits. Within
the current assessment method, this should
be discussed with the client or project code
assessor to prevent unfair penalisation.
Use
of cementitious additions can reduce the

embodied CO2 (ECO2) of concrete and influence
its visual appearance. When aesthetics are
critical, specify the cement/combination to
ensure colour consistency.
Admixtures
Understanding the role of constituent materials
can be used to enhance

sustainability credentials and reduce the ECO2
of concrete, as well as modifying its physical

The aim of this guide is to assist designers of concrete basements of

modest depth, i.e. not exceeding 10 metres. It will also prove relevant
to designers of other underground structures. It brings together in
one publication the salient features for the design and construction
of such water-resisting structures.
