Abstract:

HB 21-1303, the “Buy Clean Colorado Act” requires contractors to submit EPDs for asphalt and asphalt mixtures, cement and concrete mixtures, and steel installed on CDOT projects. Ultimately, the bill instructs CDOT to establish greenhouse gas (GHG) emission limits for these materials, and contractors on CDOT construction projects will need to comply with the specified limits. The objectives of this study were to assess the current state-of-the-practice of EPDs in construction material manufacturing; to educate stakeholders regarding life cycle assessment (LCA) and EPDs; and to help develop protocols uniquely suited to Colorado that CDOT and material producers can use to integrate EPDs into the framework of Buy Clean Colorado.
