What We Do
When it comes to decarbonization, steel is the answer! The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) provides the tools, strategies, and insights designers and developers need to exceed their sustainability goals. As a trusted thought partner, AISC helps teams identify design and specification strategies that reduce embodied carbon, improve material efficiency, and advance circular design principles. Whether you’re seeking guidance for a new project, exploring EPD data, or looking to align your firm’s practices with the latest in sustainable design, AISC is here to collaborate one-on-one to help you achieve your environmental objectives.
American structural steel remains the premier green building material, leading the market in transparency, circularity, and flexibility. The domestic steel industry uses electric arc furnace (EAF) technology to recycle up to 92% of scrap steel—including cars, appliances, and other end-of-life materials—into high-quality beams and columns. This process emits 75% less CO₂ than traditional methods, keeping American-made steel at the forefront of low-carbon construction.
The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) is a technical institute leading innovation in the structural steel industry by overseeing cutting-edge research, developing design resources, and producing guidance to support sustainability in the built environment. AISC is your sustainability thought partner - turn to us for green building practices, EPDs, and other tools for life-cycle assessments and pathways for working toward net-zero emissions.
