Aluminum panels

Hi all -

Does anyone have a recommendation for low-carbon aluminum cladding panels, or even just aluminum panel manufacturers who have provided EPDs?

Hi Alex! Aluminum panels need a lot of work and more in EPDs in EC3. That being said, I know AEP Span has at least produced an EAF produced aluminum panel EPD: https://cdn.scscertified.com/products/cert_pdfs/SCS-EPD-04462_AEP-Span-EAF_041717.pdf

In addition, AEP Span includes a statement about purchasing EAF in lieu of BOF for their aluminum panels in their LEED v3 letter (so take with grain of salt): https://www.aepspan.com/files/LEED%20v3%20Recycled%20Content%20Letter.pdf

I’ve tried asking this of AEP Span once or twice before without much success due to cost and lead time impacts…granted which was brought up at time of submittal. It’s on my list of things to do to get this into our bid docs and early procurement to mitigate cost and lead time issues.

I forgot to caveat that this is for steel metal panels with aluminum coatings.
