Paving Materials Choices and GHG Savings: Greater Boston, MA
Given that the use phase of pavements can comprise up to 78% of their life cycle impact and is mostly driven by pavement-vehicle interaction, it is important to consider the materials used for segments of paving networks. The MIT CSHub has completed a case study of road segments in Boston, Massachusetts, to quantify the GHG savings of switching to reflective flexible, rigid, and reflective rigid pavements.
