Learning Outcomes

Identify the key steps in the process of concrete manufacturing to better understand where the carbon hot spots reside and some of the latest innovations in the marketplace.
Identify tangible types of Climate-Positive Design, in large- and small-scale planning scenarios as well as systems within those design that help to deliver NetZero.
Describe the beneficial environmental impacts of permeable pavers on water quality, groundwater sources and sewer systems and their contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gasses.
List the benefits of real product case studies that delivered tangible results to the community and the environment and identify scenarios in which ICPs and SRWs can be used in place of poured concrete to reduce the embodied carbon value
