Environmental ResponsibilityOur philosophy regarding materials is to select a product that

will last the useful life of the building with little or no

maintenance. This usually results in the least long-term cost

to the building owner. In addition, significantly less harm can

be made to the environment by using permanent materials

as opposed to more commonly used materials that require

maintenance and replacement. Specifically, our portfolio of

high performance metals serves this philosophy well.

Beyond offering permanence, these materials are by their

nature, environmentally “green” materials.

Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED)

• Established by the US Green Building Council

• Architects as well as government agencies are adopting LEED

• Consumers are embracing environmentally sensible products

• Stainless steel is at least 60% recycled

• Stainless steel will last the useful life of a building with little or no maintenance

• Stainless steel is 100% recyclable after the building is torn down

•With respect to LEED credits, our products are eligible for two to four points based on what material is selected, how it is used and where the building is located. Please contact us for

assistance in pre-qualifying LEED points for your specific project

Life Cycle Costing

Our philosophy regarding materials is to select a product that will last the useful life of the building with little or no maintenance. This also limits the environmental impact. Studies conducted in recent years by The Federal Highway Administration, Battelle Laboratories and the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) estimate that in the United States alone, we spend $300 - $550 billion per year combating metallic corrosion. The FHA study indicates that $113 billion of this cost relates to metal failures in construction applications. This suggests that to a significant degree, we are penny wise and pound foolish with the metals we specify. In terms of architectural applications, we argue that life cycle costing should be taken into account when selecting materials.

Life Cycle Costing

• Acquisition Costs• Material

• Fabrication• Installation

• Operating Costs• Maintenance• Replacement

• Service Disruption• Energy Consumption

• Disposal Costs

Chrysler BuildingCompleted in 1930

Type 302 (304 is the modern version) Stainless Steel

Cleaned twice, in 1961 and 1995

1995 cleaning involved replacing a few panels that exhibited pitting corrosion at the location of heating system exhausts

Its good to go for another 70 years - evidence of stainless steel’s low life cycle cost
