WWW.ACPA.ORG 15 FALL // 2024 As cities respond to rising temperatures, diamond ground concrete surfaces offer a solution to increase albedo, reduce the UHI effect and overall greenhouse gas emissions, improve the health of local residents and decrease roadway maintenance costs. The final part of IGGA’s white paper will be published in ACPA Pavement Progress’s Winter 2025 issue. Don’t miss it! If you would like to read the first part of this series, you can find it in the previous issue.7 References: 1. Drakopoulos, Al, Wenzel, T. H., Shober, S. F., and Schmiedlin, R.
