We are looking to build a home in BC Canada in 2025 and wish to use reduced carbon concrete for our foundation slab-on-grade and the walkout basement walls that we are thinking of using ICF blocks for. We wish to build a home with the lowest impact possible, starting with the embodied carbon and we know that concrete is a huge part of this because of how bad cement is. We've spoken to a few ready-mix concrete companies but we haven't found anyone yet who even pretends to understand what we are talking about. Can you suggest any brands, types of mixes for a reduced carbon alternative to regular concrete and do you have any tips for how to maintain thermal mass while reducing the overall reliance on concrete?
