Solutions and Support for Sustainable Construction
Construction is being redefined by sustainability. We have an opportunity to make a significant impact on the industry through solutions which reduce the carbon footprint, reduce the consumption of resources, re-use structures and promote the health of occupants – without sacrificing performance or economic productivity. Let’s make construction more sustainable. Together.
Documentation to support Sustainable Design
As a company, we take a holistic approach to sustainable construction and are committed to having a growing percentage of our portfolio contribute to more sustainable construction practices. Check out our most recent Innovations:
Master X-Seed – patented strength-enhancing admixture that is capable of reducing embodied carbon in concrete mixtures by 5 to 20 percent while maintaining the strength requirements to produce high quality, environmentally-preferable concrete for a sustainable solution.
Senergy Channeled Adhesive CI Design cladding systems – continuous insulation masonry veneer system that requires no mechanical fasteners, thus eliminating thermal bridging and improving energy efficiency of a structure.
Green Sense Concrete – Advanced concrete mixture optimization program for high-performance, lower embodied carbon concrete. This program can help reduce the embodied carbon of the concrete by 10-50%.
MasterSuna RCT 323 - concrete admixture that enables producers to recycle returned concrete, diverting returned fresh concrete from the waste stream and eliminating the need for carbon intense onsite concrete crushing.
Quantifying sustainability
Third-party validated tools and services allow Master Builders Solutions to evaluate and compare the sustainability of products to help construction professionals make informed decisions.
- Eco-Efficiency Analysis for Concrete Mixtures – This comparative life cycle assessment methodology examines the cost and environmental impacts of alternative products, processes and technologies. It evaluates the entire environmental life cycle, beginning with extraction of raw materials, through the disposal or recycling of the product.
- Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) Service for Concrete Mixtures – Master Builders Solutions creates externally verified, ISO compliant EPD for concrete producers for any concrete product.
