Catherine Houska discusses the environmental advantages of this increasingly popular material in her new workshop: Sustainable Design in Stainless Steel. The leading consultant brings us up to date on how to select and specify the right stainless steel for your architectural application. Register for this one-day workshop at the Center for Architecture in Lower Manhattan and:
• Learn how long-term performance, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal make stainless steel an ideal material for sustainable designs and refurbishment projects.
• Learn how using stainless steel helps conserve resources: why sunscreens, roofs and curtain walls can reduce energy and maintenance requirements when properly detailed. Review how to assess the corrosion performance of 304, 316, and duplex grade specifications and why their use should vary with the application and service environment.
• Learn why stainless steel is increasingly being used for both cutting-edge and practical applications in the world’s newest transit facilities and in the expanding array of aesthetic possibilities. Become familiar with all the factors that can impact performance so that you can avoid the common, embarrassing mistakes. See project examples of how finish selection and design principles have been applied in award-winning and everyday construction and refurbishment projects to achieve higher levels of sustainability.
