Concrete: Sustainability and Life Cycle (CD033), the latest CD-ROM from the Portland Cement Association, tackles a topic of key interest in discussions among architects, engineers, life-cycle practitioners and building materials manufacturers. It sets the record straight on the environmental characteristics of concrete and concrete materials, and provides contextual results of concrete's impact on the environment. First unveiled during the nationwide Environmental Council of Concrete Organizations (ECCO) Sustainability Road Show this summer, the CD represents nearly a decade of research and analysis as it covers the concept of sustainability and methods of life-cycle assessment. It contains life-cycle inventories, life-cycle assessments, energy analyses, and other related analyses and comparisons. All data is searchable through the CD's table of contents, abstract, and index. It costs $75 and can be ordered online at www.cement.org/lifecycle or by phone at (+1) 800-868-6733.
