Frequently Asked Questions
Discover how SEAM supports the development and testing of low-carbon cementitious materials, sustainable construction products and innovative solutions for the built environment.
What are low-carbon construction materials?
Low-carbon construction materials are designed to reduce the environmental impact of traditional building products by lowering embodied carbon while maintaining performance and durability.
What are supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs)?
SCMs are materials used to partially replace traditional Portland cement in concrete and other cementitious systems. Examples include fly ash, slag, calcined materials and other innovative alternatives.
How can testing support low-carbon material development?
Testing helps evaluate strength, durability, chemical composition, thermal properties and long-term performance, providing confidence in new material formulations.
Can SEAM support funded innovation projects?
Yes. SEAM regularly collaborates with industry through Innovation Vouchers, Innovation Partnerships and Enterprise Ireland funded projects focused on sustainability and low-carbon technologies.
Why is durability testing important?
Durability testing helps ensure that low-carbon materials can achieve the required performance throughout their service life while meeting industry standards and customer expectations.
