ICPI has also released new guidelines on the use of bedding sand in segmental concrete paving systems.
The updated LEED guidelines, titled Tech Spec 16 Achieving LEED® Credits with Segmental Concrete Pavement, outlines opportunities offered by segmental concrete paving products and systems to earn points under the U.S. Green Building Council NC version 2.2 and Canadian Green Building Council version 1.0 of the LEED system for certifying new construction and major renovations. The bulletin provides information to design professionals on how to use interlocking concrete pavers to earn points for reducing stormwater runoff and pollution, reducing the urban heat island with high reflectivity surfaces and conserving materials through using recycled materials and local resources.
The new bedding sand guidelines, titled Tech Spec 17 Bedding Sand Selection for Interlocking Concrete Pavement in Vehicular Applications, provides an in-depth review of the performance of bedding sands under interlocking concrete pavers in street applications.
ICPI “tech specs” offer guidance to industry professionals on a variety of subjects.
