A low carbon concrete case study for Berkeley Way Apartments in Berkeley, CA — a 4-story affordable housing project with approximately 4,000 cubic yards of concrete. The project achieved 55% less cement than national averages by specifying cement content limits from the start. Highlights include early team communication, tracking approved mixes through construction, and the project exceeding Berkeley's 2019 building code amendment requiring 25% substitute cementitious materials, reaching 50-70% SCM content.
