Design Tools
LEED®
United States | Canada
Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) in 1998, LEED® is a voluntary system of design for buildings and sites that provides a rating system which encourages the use of technologies that reduce energy and conserve non renewable resources.
Sustainable Design
Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavements (PICPs) meet LEED® credit requirements under Sustainable Sites. These requirements limit runoff and water pollution by managing stormwater. The pavements can reduce runoff-generating impervious cover and decrease the rate and quantity of runoff. Learn more about sustainability.
Product Certification
The objectives of this program are to: promote the use of industry standards for concrete pavers, provide credentials for promotion by the individual paver manufacturer, benefit design professionals, contractors and the general public by creating and contributing to a perception of value and quality. See the list of ICPI Certified Paver Manufacturers.
