AEP Span’s commitment to sustainability extends to its responsibility to human health. AEP Span has responded to the rigorous material ingredient disclosure established by International Living Future Institute’s Living Building Challenge (LBC) green building certification program.

AEP Span has disclosed 100% ingredients to 100 ppm of materials and chemicals on the Red List for its portfolio of metal roof and wall products in a ZINCALUME® Plus coating and has been issued a third-party verified LBC Declare label and are Red List Free.  LBC is made up of seven petals, of which AEP Span products in a ZINCALUME Plus coating can contribute to the Material Petal – Imperative 13.  AEP Span products in a ZINCALUME® Plus resin coating offers the aesthetic design of raw steel while delivering outstanding corrosion protection and energy efficiency attributes.

AEP Span has completed a comprehensive assessment of how our products may contribute toward projects being designed to meet USGBC’s LEED v4 and 4.1 rating systems. It is important to note that project teams currently pursuing LEED v4 may have the opportunity to apply the LEED v4.1 credits and prerequisites in place of the LEED v4 language, allowing teams to take advantage of credits that may be more accessible for their project.

Below is a high-level overview of the categories and credits AEP Span products may contribute towards points, depending on the design and project type.
