Steel Goes Up on Building C

Building C is now taking shape as the steel goes up. We just confirmed today that all of the steel we are using is formed using the electric arc furnace process and as such contains 95% post consumer recycled content, a major contributor to MR 4.1-4.2 Recycled Content .

Beautfiul Steel

We are finally building upwards with the installation of steel on building B. Next week all the steel should be up and we will really be moving towards our goal of being completed in October. The steel comes from a town in Connecticut that is within 500 miles of the project making it a regional material according to LEED-NC MR5: Regional Material.

We Build Good Foundations

We passed our foundation inspection yesterday.

Waterproofing

The black stuff around the foundation of building B is a spray on waterproofing. According to LEED NC EQ 4.1 Low-Emitting Materials: Adhesives & Sealants a sealant of this type can have a maximum VOC content of 420 g/L. The product we are using has a VOC content of 73 g/L. It's called Watchdog and is manufactured by Tremco.
