Wildfire Resilience

The homes and buildings in your community are far more precious than just their market value. One way of keeping these structures as safe as possible for occupants and everything in them is to adopt building codes that prevent the use of flammable construction materials. These resources provide the pathway for local communities to adopt a more robust and resilient code.

•  A “Local Ordinance” explains to a jurisdiction how to implement the code along with the “Local Resolution.”

• A “Local Resolution” provides language for adoption.

• The final part is the full code showing the updates with a 2-hour exterior fire rating. This includes “strikethroughs” in the code language as the California Building Code requires that any changes being proposed to the existing language be identified.

Decarbonizing Cement

Concrete, and its essential binding ingredient Portland Cement, contribute to sustainability, resilience, and positive economic impact in many ways. The examples provided on this website represent only a fraction of the real-life solutions made possible by cement. We invite you to explore the examples offered here and begin a conversation about how you can leverage these valuable cement-based tools in the most economical and environmentally responsible way.
