 | Concrete In Disguise
Today’s concrete interiors come in nearly any color or pattern imaginable. And they aren’t just interesting and beautiful, but also provide finishes that contribute to sustainable construction.

 | Concrete Pavement Without the Runoff
Capturing water runoff can make sites viable that might otherwise be ineligible for development and can eliminate the need for stormwater retention ponds. Permeable or pervious pavements allow rainwater and snowmelt to be collected where it falls and directed below the surface where it is stored and percolated into the soil or collected.

While disasters and the devastating impacts grab headlines, durability is becoming a top of mind issue in the sustainable housing movement. After much initial focus on energy efficiency, the green building industry is now beginning to consider durability right alongside it.

 | pervious concrete
You know the stuff: impervious to water, channels runoff. But what happens when – without sacrificing strength or durability – water drains right through it? Consider if roads and driveways, sidewalks and parking lots could let rain wash directly into the ground, where it’s naturally filtered on its way to our aquifers. No runoff, no drains, no catch basins, detention vaults or piping systems. No kidding.
