Agway Metals Lunch & Learn

Steel is a critical material in architecture, but its production methods vary widely in environmental impact. This session educates architects on how steel is made, comparing traditional and modern technologies like Blast Furnaces and Electric Arc Furnaces. It explains the carbon implications of each process and provides practical guidance on how to select and specify low-carbon steel products to reduce a project’s embodied carbon footprint.

I will also be discussing Agway Metals and our role in manufacturing metal roofing and wall-cladding from these materials.

Learning Objectives:

  • The primary materials used in steelmaking
  • Manufacturing from raw materials - Blast Furnace Vs Electric Arc Furnace
  • The carbon footprint of each method of manufacturing
  • Specifying low carbon embodied steel materials in your project – GWP (Global Warming Potential)
  • Agway Metal’s roll formed & press-broken steel roofing and exterior cladding materials – What is possible?
Presented by:
 Marzia Poldi – Architectural Sales Representative - Agway Metals
