| To support the QC initiative, NRMCA's Pervious Concrete Technical Committee developed a series of Pervious Concrete Construction Checklists for contractors and ready mix suppliers. This publication provides forms and checklists that can be useful to the pervious concrete contractors and concrete suppliers on projects. Certified pervious concrete contractors or other individuals should use these forms and checklists and modify them as appropriate to local practice and to specific projects. |

| Porous Pavements is the first comprehensive "encyclopedia" of porous pavement materials. The book begins with five chapters that lay a foundation for all porous pavement materials and applications, introducing the types of materials and arrangements, their roles in the urban environment, and the principles of pavement structure, hydrology, and rooting space. The following nine chapters outline the costs, maintenance requirements, advantages and disadvantages for different applications, installation methods, sources of standard specifications, and performance levels for each family of porous pavement materials. Porous Pavements gives responsible practitioners a complete toolbox from which to select the appropriate material for site-specific conditions, providing a "green" alternative to impervious pavements. 600 pgs. 2005. |

| (Sold in Pkgs. of 20) Can Also be Downloaded after purchase. CSR11 provides a detailed description of how concrete can contribute towards LEED certification. Because of concrete's versatility there are many applications where concrete can be used in a building project, from foundation and superstructure to sidewalks and parking lots. That makes concrete unique in that it can contribute to every credit category in LEED v4. This new CSR report provides suggestions for earning LEED v4 points through the use of ready mixed concrete products. Examples of how concrete can be used to influence points in LEED are presented and a table summarizing how concrete contributes to each credit is provided. 8 pages. This report can also be downloaded after purchase. |

| Free Download Concrete Sustainability Reports (CSR) are technical publications that discuss various sustainability related topics. They are intended to provide a summary of complex topics to help design professionals and concrete industry professionals utilize concrete sustainably. CSR10 provides an overview of the Architecture 2030 Challenge to reduce the overall carbon footprint of the built environment by asking architects to design buildings to be carbon neutral by 2030. Additionally, the program challenges architects to specify products that are working to reduce their carbon footprint by 50% by 2030. This documents what the concrete industry is doing to help meet these challenges and how concrete products provide solutions to a low carbon future. 2 pages. |

| Free Download Concrete Sustainability Reports (CSR) are technical publications that discuss various sustainability related topics. They are intended to provide a summary of complex topics to help design professionals and concrete industry professionals utilize concrete sustainably. CSR09 describes how research shows that on warm summer days, the temperature in large cities can be significantly hotter than surrounding rural areas, mainly due to dark colored roofing and pavements that absorb most of the sunlight that falls on them and heating the surrounding air. This increase in air and surface temperatures results increased energy demand for buildings, increased greenhouse gas emissions, increased air pollution, reduced human health and reduced water quality. Because of concrete's light color and high reflectivity, using concrete for paved surfaces, along with roofing and cladding for buildings, can help reduce urban heat islands. 8 pages. |

| Free Download "MIT Research: Effects of Inflation and Volatility on Construction Alternatives" Concrete Sustainability Reports (CSR) are technical publications that discuss various sustainability related topics. They are intended to provide a summary of complex topics to help design professionals and concrete industry professionals utilize concrete sustainably. CSR08 describes how Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) is used to determine the most cost effective design alternative for assets such as buildings, roads and other infrastructure. Recent research at the MIT examined historical data on real prices and found that the assumption of constant real costs is inconsistent with historical experience. MIT recommendations include accounting for differences in inflation among materials and the general rate of inflation by using an appropriate escalation rates. 2 pages. |

They are intended to provide a summary of complex topics to help design professionals and concrete industry professionals utilize concrete sustainably. CSR07 provides a summary of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) results from research conducted at the MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub on concrete pavements. The research provides environmental impacts for a variety of concrete pavements ranging from rural low-volume roads to urban interstate highways. It also provides potential methodologies for reducing environmental impacts, including using mechanistic design procedures, increasing fly ash content in concrete, increasing the reflectivity of concrete and reducing roughness, among other suggestions. 2 pages |
