The following innovations are some of the concrete products manufactured by CEMEX for more sustainable buildings.^([1])Insulating concrete forms to keep heat out in hot climates and to retain it in cold weather. A study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) shows that using this type of concrete instead of code-compliant wood-frame construction can produce operational energy savings of 20%.^([1] )Self-compacting concrete that improves strength and durability. , and the lifespan of a structure and reduce maintenance costs over the life of the structure. Permeable concrete that helps prevent skidding on wet roads. Fast-setting concrete that contains up to 80% fly ash and produces carbon. Antibacterial concrete that controls the growth of bacteria and helps maintain clean environments in structures such as hospitals and laboratories.
