Green House Gas Data Metrics & Analysis

The purpose of this initiative is to analyze existing data to determine units of measurement and key performance indicators that will determine if a net reduction in GHG’s are truly being achieved. This will go deeper in also determining the benefits of utilized recycled materials such as asphalt, concrete, cement powder and aggregates. The benefits will provide a determination and quantification of the actual reductions being realized from the different initiatives that are currently underway to reduce GHG. It will also allow us to determine the value of recycle material utilization and promote an increased desire to utilize greater quantities in future construction projects by establishing newly accepted addition rates.
