Understanding Carbon Sequestration in Dry-Cast Concrete Masonry

As the design industry continues to prioritize carbon-conscious construction, understanding material impact is more important than ever.This session introduces the fundamentals of embodied carbon in concrete masonry, with a focus on how dry-cast CMU differs from traditional wet-cast concrete. Participants will explore how CMU contributes to lower embodied carbon and accelerated carbon sequestration, supported by recent research and testing. The course also examines the geologic and concrete carbon cycles, providing a clear framework for how masonry systems contribute to climate-responsive design strategies.<h2>LEARNING OBJECTIVES</h2>✔ Understand how concrete masonry contributes to sustainable design strategies ✔ Compare dry-cast CMU and wet-cast concrete in terms of embodied carbon ✔ Define key concepts such as carbon sequestration and lifecycle impact ✔ Review CMHA research demonstrating accelerated carbon uptake in CMU assemblies
