Whether you are assisting a developer who is “going for the Gold”, or another level of LEED^® certification, or an architect selecting environmentally conscientious products, Dietrich Metal Framing is here to support you.

Dietrich’s cold-formed metal framing products and accessories contribute toward LEED^® credits in several areas:

Materials and Resources

MR Credit 4.1 and 4.2 Recycled Content (2 Points)

Dietrich products contain a high percentage of recycled steel comprised of both post-consumer and pre-consumer recycled content.

MR Credit 5.1 and 5.2 Regional Materials (2 Points)

The environmental impacts resulting from transportation can be greatly reduced as Dietrich’s manufacturing facilities and material sources are located within 500 miles of 85% of the U.S. population.

MR Credit 2.1 and 2.2 Construction Waste Management (2 Points)

Since steel is North America’s most recycled material, redirecting job site reusable resources back to the manufacturing process can also contribute toward Construction Waste Management points.

Innovation in Design

Dietrich’s UltraSTEEL^® interior framing metal studs and tracks provide higher strength capacity from lighter gauge material creating a substantially lighter building footprint. This reduction in the amount of steel used in the building allows for a corresponding reduction in the amount of energy required to manufacture the steel.
