Concrete is the backbone of modern construction, and it comes with an environmental cost, as do most construction materials. This course explores concrete’s contributions to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and current and emerging solutions to reduce emissions throughout its entire life cycle. Climate-positive design strategies to improve the carbon footprint of exterior projects are presented. Real-world projects demonstrate how permeable pavements are a sustainable alternative to poured concrete surfaces, offering numerous environmental benefits.

Permeable interlocking concrete pavement (PICP) has the ability to create solid, strong surfaces for pedestrians and a range of vehicular uses; it can help maintain a site’s existing natural hydrologic function and reduce the overall impact of development. This course discusses the components of a PICP system and how they work together to manage stormwater in a variety of applications. Also addressed are hydrological and structural factors to consider when designing with PICP and how PICP contributes to sustainable building goals and projects.
