Structural Steel &
Sustainability
This presentation is Part 2 of 3 on Structural
Steel & Sustainability titled Structural Steel
& Sustainability 201: Codes, Standards &
Rating Systems. Parts 1 and 3 of the
presentation are covered in the following
separate presentations on the AISC

Learning Objectives
At the end of the this course,
participants will be able to:
1. Identify the material requirements for
each of the major sustainability codes,
standards and rating systems.
2. Understand the reporting requirements
for documenting structural steels
contribution to these requirements.
3. Understand the role of their organization,
be it a material producer, service center,
fabricator, erector or structural engineer,
in meeting these requirements.8

Total project cost = $5,000,000 Materials = $2,250,000
