App quantifies sustainability of coil coatings

Beckers Group has launched a tool to quantify the sustainability of its coating products. The Beckers SI app is designed for architects, designers, building planners, and steelmakers who want to work with green materials without compromising the design.

For different applications such as roofing or façade systems, the app shows users the collective impact of the materials used to make the coating, as well as the value certain functions add to a construction. This enables them to make an educated decision and can also be rewarded by green building rating schemes such as LEED® and BREAM, says the company.
