Sustainability of Steel in Housing and Residential Buildings - A European Perspective SCI, 2009
This publication addresses the background to sustainability and presents the broad sustainability benefits of steel construction technologies used in housing and residential buildings. It takes a European perspective of recent projects and shows examples of current sustainability assessments of projects using steel.

Sustainability of Modulus Construction Joakim Widman, 2004
Environmental Study of the OpenHouse Steel System. The report is the result from studies of environmental issues related to residential construction with pre-fabricated 3D modules with light-gauge steel system. The studies were parts of an extensive EU project within the area of industrial production of residential buildings with steel.

Life-cycle Assessment of Steel Construction Joakim Widman, Lars-Johan Eklund, 2004
Life-cycle Assessment for Steel Construction presents an extensive and reviewed LCI study made on a several constructional steel products used in Sweden. The report is a part of the results from a European ECSC project, including information and data for constructional steel products produced by partners from Sweden, the UK and the Netherlands. The report has been separated into two parts, one documentation and information part (data collection report, part I), and one data presentation part (appendices, part II).

Environmental impact assessment of steel bridges Joakim Widman, 1998
Paper presented at the 2nd World Steel in Construction conference 1998. The Swedish Institute of Steel Construction has made LCA´s on steel and concrete composite road bridges in order to detect important environmental impact parameters and to find areas where improvements are necessary. Two of the most common bridge types were studied. Combustion engines in vehicles contribute to a big share of the airbonre emissions. In spite of the small amounts, alloys as Molybdenum contributes to most enviromental burden from the materials according to one assessment method. This put steel in a less favourable position when comparing LCA results with other materials. The concrete in steel bridges contributes to almost 50% out of the environmental impact and the fact that steel bridges need less material than concrete bridges, shows that steel bridges are good environmental choises. Three assessment methods have been used to get multi-comparable and objective assessment results.

Development of an environmental research strategy in Sweden J Anderson, 1998
Paper presented at the 2nd World Steel in Construction conference 1998. The development of an environmental research strategy in Sweden is driven by the individual consumers, environmental authorities, organisations and the market. All building material producers and contractors in Sweden have voluntarily agreed to produce environmental fact sheets for their products. One of the most important parts of the content is LCA (Life Cycle Assessment). In 1995 the Swedish Institute of Steel Construction decided to start a programme for environmental research. The strategy included six steps; analyse of the situation, building up personnel resources, creating networks, executing research and building up facts, influencing codes and finally dissemination of information.

Recyclability of Light-gauge Steel Studs J Anderson et al, 1997
The report Recyclability of Light-gauge Steel Studs is a survey of the life cycle for a light-gauge steel stud at the Swedish Construction Market. It is based on correspondence and telephone interviews with representatives from the industry and universities. It includes experts on steel production, cold forming of steel, construction and so on, all the way to the demolition and recycling business. With the resulting recycling yield, it is possible to take recyclability into account in studies of the enviromental impact, like LCA (Life Cycle Assesssment) and LCI (Life Cycle Inventory). Although the survey is done for a light-gauge steel stud in Sweden, the same approach and probably most of the assumptions, can be used for any constructional product, in any markets.
