The study evaluates how lowering asphalt production temperatures affects burner fuel consumption and mixture performance.

Using warm mix technologies reduced burner fuel consumption by approximately 20%, and may lower emissions.
Cracking resistance of warm mix asphalt mixtures was similar to the control hot mix asphalt when using plant-mixed samples.
Rutting and moisture resistance remained comparable under warm mix conditions, meeting the minimum rutting criteria.
Experiments demonstrated that using lower production temperatures maintains performance while reducing energy use.

Sadeghi et al. (2025) studied this question.
