Sustainable Solutions with Steel Profiles

Sustainability is at the forefront of the architecture, engineering and construction industries. Material selection is key in not only sustainability, but also social responsibility. Stainless and Carbon Steel profiles provide sustainable solutions in striking designs in architecturally exposed structures, with a unique focus on resiliency and durability. This course is designed for architects, engineers, fabricators and metal enthusiasts. We will go in-depth on the different applications and benefits of using steel and stainless steel profiles in your designs, with a heavy emphasis on steel production technologies, sustainability, case studies, and material selection. After completion, designers will know how and why to apply sustainable steel solutions to their projects.

Learning Objectives
