The Architectural, Engineering and Construction community has long recognized steel for its strength, durability and functionality. More recently, steel’s high recycled content and end of life recovery rates have become important attributes in helping to obtain LEED certification.
The latest version, LEED v4, takes an expanded look at building material credits. These additions include Life Cycle Assessment, Environmental Product Declarations and improved product transparency.
ArcelorMittal Dofasco construction products can help obtain LEED v4 points in the following categories:
- Environmental Products Declarations
- Sourcing of Raw Materials
- Construction Waste Management
- Heat Island Reduction
