The American Iron and Steel Institute will host a session on “Whole Building Life Cycle Assessment” at 2019 NASCC: The Steel Conference in St. Louis, Missouri on Friday, April 5, 2019.

During the conference, participants learned about sustainability market drivers, EPDs and more during a presentation by industry specialist, Anna Nicholson.

Over the last several years, there has been increasing awareness and discussion about the use of flame-retardants in insulation materials.

Project teams can be rewarded by choosing products from manufacturers that have publicly released information from their raw materials suppliers.

Many building-material manufacturers are developing and publishing third-party certified EPDs.

Consistent with its leadership in the delivery of energy-efficient and sustainable building insulation solutions, the Polyisocyanurate Insulation Manufacturers Association (PIMA) announced the receipt of third party-verified ISO-compliant Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for polyisocyanurate (polyiso) roof and wall insulations as manufactured by PIMA members across North America.

Given today’s low energy prices, it’s become a little more difficult to sell the value of high-R roof insulation based solely on traditional Return on Investment.
