The heat this week feels inescapable. But its worse in cities thanks to something called the 'Urban Heat Islands' effect. Hessam AzariJafari from MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub and Lawrence Sobson from Michigan Department of Natural Resources join Stephen Henderson for #CreatedEqual. #HeatIslands #TreeEquity

.Hessam AzariJafari joined WDET 101.9FM's #CreatedEqual podcast to discuss the #UrbanHeatIsland effect and how strategies like #reflectivepavements can mitigate #extremeheat. Stephen Henderson Michigan Department of Natural Resources open.spotify.com/episode/0FMYtd…

Our new paper in Resources, Conservation & Recycling outlines a streamlined framework for #pavement #lifecycleassessment #LCA addressing data requirements + uncertainties. CAF Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Read the paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.resc…

Our new brief outlines an element-based approach to model the #carbonuptake of single-family homes. Authored by Hessam AzariJafari and Randolph Kirchain. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) CAF #sustainability #ccus #concrete #cement Read the brief: cshub.mit.edu/wp-content/upl…

#Carbon capture, utilization & storage (CCUS) will play a key role in the decarbonization of the #cement industry. This MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub report explores how the industry can enable widespread industrial CCUS adoption. cshub.mit.edu/wp-content/upl…

Concrete sustainability took to The White House recently as leaders met for the #Concrete Innovation Summit. Hessam AzariJafari participated in the summit, which discussed bolstering concrete as part of the #sustainability solution. CAF @PCA_Daily whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upda…

With extreme heat across much of the US in recent weeks, now is the time to think about what cities can do to mitigate the impact. @ClimateMIT shares strategies including green spaces & reflective pavements, both of which can reduce air temps. bit.ly/3LrGASe MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub

#Cement used in U.S. single-family homes can sequester enough carbon to account for ~40% of process emissions from the production of cement used to build them. Learn about our probabilistic #carbonuptake accounting framework in our recent webinar youtube.com/watch?v=DKJn1m…

Natural hazards are expected to cost the U.S. ~$40 billion annually by 2075. CSHub Director Randolph Kirchain explains why the #Trump admin. & new #Congress must invest in stronger #construction to save lives, homes, and long-term spending. realclearenergy.org/articles/2025/…

Join Dr. Haoran Li and Dr. Hessam AzariJafari on 2/27 11am ET as they discuss how the recently published Streamlined #Pavement #LCA Tool enables pavement design optimization and refines long-term performance forecasting. mit.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

#Concrete is typically designed stronger than required to account for natural variability. By narrowing this gap, we can cut excess material use and save more than 80kg CO₂e per cubic meter of concrete. Learn more: cshub.mit.edu/wp-content/upl…
