Go With the Flow: Managing Stormwater Hazards Through Smart Porous Pavers

Go With the Flow: Managing Stormwater Hazards Through Smart Porous Pavers

to take this course

In this course we explore how porous paving can help design professionals manage stormwater, increase accessibility, and provide a cost-effective low maintenance solution for design professionals. Our team discusses how porous paving can contribute to multiple LEED v4 credits and reduce environmental impacts. Finally, we review several case studies that illustrate the benefits of porous paving systems for various types of building projects.

Learning Objectives: 
  1. Compare various types of porous pavements in terms of performance, maintenance, cost, sustainability attributes, and safety for site occupants
  2. Discuss how porous paving can help manage stormwater and reduce flooding, pollution, and other unsafe conditions for site occupants
  3. Review how porous paving can help meet occupant accessibility and sustainability goals for a project
  4. Describe how porous paving can support the LEED ratings system and contribute to heat island effect reduction, rainwater management, construction activity pollution prevention, and other critical issues
