![]() Recent MBMA research has advanced the engineering understanding of metal buildings in various areas including energy usage, life-cycle assessments, carbon content of products, and resiliency including resistance to wind, fire, snow, seismic events, and hail. The nonprofit Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA) has been an advocate for consistent and continuous improvement in the efficiency and sustainability of metal buildings since the association’s inception in 1956. Explain how metal building energy reduction strategies directly impact operational energy use as well as opportunities for on-site solar energy generation.Determine which metal building attributes contribute to green building codes, standards, and voluntary programs, especially LEED.Explore the products and processes that contribute to the sustainable attributes of metal buildings, including reductions in embodied energy and carbon.Describe the latest research that affirms sustainable attributes inherent to metal building systems.Use the following learning objectives to focus your study while reading this month’s Continuing Education article.Īfter reading this article, you will be able to:
