What you’ll learn
Four areas of sustainable metal building design
Leave with practical considerations you can apply when specifying architectural metal roof and wall systems.
Sustainability
Learn how durable metal cladding supports sustainable design through Life Cycle Analysis, Environmental Product Declarations, recyclability, and responsible sourcing.
Energy efficiency
Explore how advanced resin-based coatings and solar-reflective pigments can mitigate heat gain, reduce cooling loads, and improve building efficiency.
Embodied carbon reduction
See how on-site roll forming can reduce transportation requirements, packaging waste, and other contributors to a project’s embodied carbon.
Sustainable materials
Examine advances in U.S. steel and aluminum production and how sourcing decisions can influence a project’s environmental impact.
Why attend
Make better-informed material decisions
Metal roofing and wall systems can address several sustainability goals within one building envelope.
- Connect material selection and coatings to long-term performance
- Evaluate sourcing, fabrication, durability, and recyclability
- Understand how metal systems support people, planet, and profit
- Apply the course concepts to future project specifications
