Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavement (PICP) is a subset of ICP that have wider joint or voids between the units filled with fine gravel that allows water to easily flow throughout the surface and infiltrate into the sub-grade below.

Leed Points:
Interlocking Concrete Pavements (ICP), including Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavements (PICPs), are eligible for LEED+ credits under the U.S. and Canadian Green Building Councils (USGBC and CaGBC) guidelines.
ICP can meet the the LEED credit for Sustainable Sites requirement to reduce urban heat islands (thermal difference between urban and rural areas), minimize impacts on micro-climates and in wildlife habitats. This is accomplished through increased albedo (a measure of the solar energy reflected from a surface) or use of a pavement system with less than 50% imperviousness. PICP has substantially higher reflectivity than conventional asphalt pavement and can meet the requirement for less than 50% imperviousness.
ICP typically meets the requirements for Conservation of Material and Resources, Recycled Content under the USGBC LEED for new construction where at least 20% of the building products should be manufactured within a radius of 500 miles (800 km) of the project. Most paving units are locally manufactured and delivered to projects within 500 miles (800 km). To find the closest manufacturer or distributor, visit the ICPI Find A Member section.
