Alternative Supplementary Cementitious Materials Calculator

LEED for New Construction recognizes an alternative calculation that encourages projects to use fly ash, slag and silica fume (SCM) in the mix designs of concrete. 

This calculator, in the form of an Excel Spreadsheet, allows ready mix suppliers and concrete subcontractors to calculate and report the contribution of the concrete for MRc4 and MRc5 for up to six mix designs used on a LEED project. Download Calculator [.XLS]
