49m3 floor slab for an eHaus PassivHaus which kicked off a new partnership between eHaus and Neocrete. The slab was New Zealand’s first low carbon concrete with D5 Green
Neocrete NZ supply D5 Green – an innovative admixture to concrete that improves its performance and reduces its carbon footprint. With D5 Green, over 1.5 ton reduction in embodied carbon of the floor slab
was achieved (the equivalent of a return flight between Paris and New York). This was through reduction in cement and removal of other carbon-intensive admixtures and replacing them with D5 Green at only 3% of cement (around 370 kgs of D5 Green in total). A very promising result, given very limited solutions available in NZ for carbon reduction for concrete.
