Our self-heating concrete panels were placed in Odori Park last week to demonstrate how conductive concrete can melt snow and ice, improving pedestrian and driver safety while reducing energy consumption versus conventional heating methods. Thank you to Aizawa Concrete Corporation for sponsoring this research and facilitating this collaboration.
