Achieving Low Embodied Carbon (LEC) with Cold-Formed Steel Framing Systems

This course offers a comprehensive guide to the sustainability of cold-formed steel framing (CFSF). By understanding the nuances of embodied carbon, sustainable steel production, and specification strategies, professionals can leverage CFSF's environmental benefits for a competitive edge and contribute to a healthier planet. Embodied carbon, a significant contributor to global emissions, is a growing concern in the construction industry. This course delves into its complexities, explores the role of Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) mills in producing low embodied carbon steel, and examines the importance of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) in verifying the sustainability of steel products. The course also provides practical strategies for reducing embodied carbon in CFSF construction. Participants will learn how to specify LEC steel and optimize their designs to minimize material usage without compromising on strength, thus achieving significant carbon reductions and contributing to a more sustainable built environment.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered via webinar or face-to-face presentation. Available sessions shown below.
