ARCHITECTURE TOWARDS REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT: PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF NOVEL IRON-BASED SUBSTITUTE FOR PORTLAND CEMENT
Abstract
This paper is focused on innovative and effective method of reducing carbon footprint in the building sector. It concerns the possibility to introduce the novel iron-based carbon negative binding material into the contemporary architectural realisations as an environmentally safe substitute for Portland cement. The paper describes the characteristics and practical application of innovative product obtained from carbonation of waste steel powder and other concrete ingredients such as fly ash, limestone powder and metakaolin. The important distinguishing feature of this binding material is that it absorbs carbon dioxide and does not demand high temperatures for the production process. The paper analyses prospective implementations of the new substitute of Portland cement in architecture in order to demonstrate how this action can help to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The first practical usage of the new material in the architectural object is presented. The paper conclusions show environmental, architectural and economic potential of the innovative material which, when properly used, may contribute to development of architecture oriented towards reduction of carbon footprint.
