Developing standards that support reductions of carbon emissions
Cement and concrete manufacturing contribute significantly to the world’s carbon dioxide emissions. While methods to reduce these emissions from the manufacturing process exist, until now, there has been no consistent methodology to differentiate and document the carbon intensity of cement and concrete. This has made it hard for cities, architects, and developers to voice their preference for the use of lower carbon intensity cement or concrete in their infrastructure projects.
The new CarbonStar® methodology outlined in our CSA SPE-112:21, CarbonStar®: Technical specification for concrete carbon intensity quantification and verification, effectively addresses these challenges and gives specifiers an option to select material with reduced environmental impact.

Élaborer des normes favorisant la réduction des émissions de carbone
La fabrication du ciment et du béton contribue de manière importante aux émissions de gaz carbonique dans le monde. Bien qu’il existe des méthodes visant à réduire ces émissions du processus de fabrication, il n’y a eu jusqu’à maintenant aucune méthodologie permettant de différencier et de documenter l’intensité des émissions de carbone des ciments et des bétons. Ainsi, les villes, architectes et promoteurs peuvent difficilement exprimer leur préférence pour l’utilisation de ciment ou de béton à faible intensité d’émissions de carbone dans leurs projets d’infrastructure.
La nouvelle classification CarbonStar, décrite dans notre Spécification technique CSA SPE-112:F21, aborde efficacement ces enjeux et offre aux rédacteurs de devis la possibilité de choisir des matériaux dont l’incidence est moindre sur l’environnement.

The Evolution of Sensors
As with most areas of technology, sensors have evolved over time. The earliest forms of sensors were able to turn a physical event into a mechanical movement.
With the introduction of electricity, electrical sensors had the capability to turn a physical event into an electrical current.
Then, we see the miniaturization of sensors which increased the accuracy and reliability of sensors.
Today, we see the communication within sensors. The Internet of Thing (IoT) promises fully automated processes based on a complete digitization of physical assets.
