It's hard to gift-wrap free downloads, but the American Institute of Steel Construction has two special treats for the sustainable design and construction world as 2026 rolls in!
The first resource straight from the folks who write steel standards helps designers and consultants to crack the code to LEED v5 success. The free guide provides a concise overview of structural steel’s inherent sustainable traits and maps them directly to the LEED framework, making it easier than ever for designers to document and achieve their sustainability goals.
The second is updated industry-wide Environmental Product Declarations that will help the AEC community make informed decisions--and this round of EPDs show a 10% drop in structural steel's embodied carbon since the 2021 EPDs!
These documents are part of AISC's sustainability toolkits for designers and building owners.
