ONTARIO, CA
The HUB @ ONT
The HUB @ Ontario International Airport (ONT) is a 4,000,000+ SF master-planned logistics park in Southern California that is setting new standards for decarbonization. The project employs innovative concrete solutions to drastically reduce carbon emissions. One of the primary initiatives is the use of carbon-reduction systems for the concrete slab, tilt wall panels, and paving, which is expected to cut 44,000 tons of embodied carbon compared to traditional concrete methods.
A key aspect of the project is the use of insulated composite panels for the building shells, which reduce the amount of material used by incorporating an EPS foam core within a specialized truss system. Additionally, an innovative concrete slab solution reduces CO2 emissions by up to 40% using Type 1L cement, which cuts CO2 output by 10% during production, and a slab that’s 1.5” thinner than the original design. Despite these reductions in material use, both the insulated panels and the concrete slabs maintain the same structural strength as conventional designs.
Through these innovative measures, The HUB @ ONT demonstrates how sustainable construction can significantly reduce emissions while maintaining structural integrity, aligning with broader industry goals for carbon neutrality.
