Green Building
The SBC Industry: Green Since 1952
The construction materials and methods that make buildings and homes “green” are getting a lot of press these days. The SBC industry strongly believes that structural building components play an important role in green building. We support a complete “life-cycle assessment” approach to determine the total environmental impact of a building material, from resource extraction to demolition and disposal, as the most effective way to quantify the total environmental effects associated with using a specific building material.
