Titans Sustainability Plan

Wilmot helped the Titans develop a sustainability plan to join the ranks with other stadiums committed to social and environmental responsibility around the world. Concrete is responsible for 7% of all carbon emissions worldwide. In a concrete building of this size, a majority of the embodied carbon is in the concrete due to the energy-intensive process required to produce cement. This initiative led a transformative approach to concrete production in Nashville through comprehensive market research on cement replacement alternatives and reshaped operational norms among local concrete suppliers, creating change that will impact carbon emissions on all future building projects in the region.

Wilmot:

• Researched global best practices and developed 200+ sustainability strategies

• Delivered a Sustainable Stadiums Comparison Report to benchmark against industry leaders

• Conducted a cement replacement market study

• Successfully drove the adoption of lower embodied carbon practices across ready mix concrete suppliers

• Specified low-carbon concrete leading to a 10% reduction in Global Warming Potential

• Recommended zero waste operations and 95% construction waste diversion

• Recommended solar installations

Wilmot’s ongoing work with the Titans includes weekly onsite sustainability management to track low-carbon concrete progress, waste diversion metrics, and progress toward LEED Gold certification. The project is pushing the Southeast’s concrete industry to embrace sustainable, low-carbon options, creating a ripple-effect of change toward reduced carbon emissions far beyond the stadium.
