The Aluminum Association recently released the 2017 version of Aluminum in Green Buildings – A Guide to Environmental Declarations for the building and construction market. The new guidelines describe how life cycle assessments (LCA) and environmental product declarations (EPD) are awarded for green building credits in major rating systems, says the Association.

Heidi Brock, President & CEO of the Aluminum Association said: “Our industry is committed to utilizing aluminum’s many benefits to advance sustainability efforts in the building and construction sector. The guide’s updates will help stakeholders in every stage of the process make informed decisions regarding environmental declarations as well as what aluminum can bring to the process.”
The new guide features information including LEED v4, Green Globes 2013, IgCC 2012 and CALGreen 2010/2012.
The Aluminum Association represents U.S. and foreign-based companies and their suppliers throughout the value chain, from primary production to value added products to recycling.
