Metal composite material (MCM) may be familiar to architects and designers for its versatility, durability, design flexibility, and dramatic beauty. However, the material’s sustainable characteristics and potential LEED credits—earned through the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design rating system—should also be considered. LEED v4.1 prioritizes sustainable materials, helping manufacturers to design, produce, and deliver building materials that reduce a building’s environmental impact. LEED v4.1 also rewards manufacturers who reduce energy and water use during manufacturing, minimize their carbon footprint during distribution and transportation, and lessen overall carbon emissions through the entire production life cycle. LEED focuses on efficiency and leadership to deliver triple bottom line returns of people, planet, and profit. This course also discusses the history and manufacture of these leading-edge panels. It illustrates their features, benefits, and advantages, including an array of finishes that help MCM stand out from other cladding materials. This course emphasizes five significant projects targeted for LEED certification. The course begins by briefly reviewing potential
