Abstract

The increase in temperature and climate change of the earth caused by global warming which until now has become an important issue for the lives of humanity. This research aims to: utilization of paving block as heat reduction materials. This research uses quantitativemethods with a field survey, data analysis, and exploration laboratory studies of natural materials and waste.Based on the results of this research: the use of landscape hard materials, that’s paving blocks as heat reduction by developing the composition of mixed materials in the manufacture of paving blocks. Obtain 2 (two) forms of paving blocks development material were rectangular and hexagon. Therefore the increase in ambient temperature can be reduced by the utilization of paving blocksusing a mixture of basic materials (cement, sand, and water) and natural materials (grass and fibers) and recycled materials (sawdust and styrofoam).
