that'd be great, a lot of buildings are torn down just because the concrete cracks.

i'd be interested in seeing how using better concrete impacts overall costs and of course emissions. because the building ends up standing for a lot longer, the temperature isolation becomes very sub-par over time. that would increase total energy consumption compared to buildings that are frequently rebuilt.

but very promising.
