Low-Carbon Concrete Requirements
Community Development Agency
All building project applicants, contractors, and concrete suppliers are required to comply with low carbon concrete code in keeping with Title 19 Marin County Building Code, Chapter 19.07 - Carbon Concrete Requirements. Compliance includes two pathways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing cement levels or replacing lower carbon emitting cementitious materials in concrete designs.
