This election took place at an Extraordinary General Assembly on 8 Oct. Nathalie Janssens (Alvance-European Aluminium) succeeds to her previous colleague, Alain Dufour, who sadly deceased in August. All METALS FOR BUILDINGS members congratulate Nathalie and look forward to a successful collaboration.

In EN15978, Module D provides complementary information to the production stage about the additional environmental aspects resulting from reuse & recycling at the end of life stage. Hence, it is a key piece of information for the LCA of buildings.

The METALS FOR BUILDINGS General Assembly took place on 5 Feb 2021. This was the occasion to thank Patrick Le Pense for its 8 years of successful and dedicated presidency and to welcome Alain Dufour from Alvance Aluminium group as new President and Olivier Vassart from ArcelorMittal as new Vice-President.

The METALS FOR BUILDINGS alliance contributes to the development of complementary PCR to EN 15804 for steel and aluminium structures which has been recently activated under CENTC135 "Execution of steel structures and aluminium structures". This PCR, based on the amended EN15804+A2, will be also usable for other metal building products which are not covered by any c-PCR document. This new c-PCR should be published as EN standard in 2021.

At the occasion of the next General Assembly taking place on 13 Feb at the EUROFER premises,  METALS FOR BUILDINGS  is organising a workshop which will give the floor to three external speakers who will present their views and activities related to building sustainability:  

Thomas SCHINKO, Architect at « Vasconi Architectes » will present “Life Cycle Architecture – design of steel-intensive bio-climatic and sustainable buildings“

Fabrizio VARRIALE, Global Research Assistant, RICS, will speak about “Key metrics and instruments for a Sustainable B&C sector in Europe”

Alberto Parenti, Senior Expert at European Commission, will highlight the views of DG GROW regarding “Sustainable construction in the context of the Green Deal”
