Environment

Environment protection is the core of Transcon Steel’s mission in designing building systems that support energy efficiency and sustainability. The focus was to develop a building system that was made of recycled products that can be virtually recycled indefinitely. Ultra Frame is prefabricated to eliminate jobsite waste. The system is designed with a zero-waste manufacturing approach and has been designed to reduce the carbon footprint of buildings supporting the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) green building goals.

Protecting Our Earth

Each year over 4 billion trees are harvested worldwide for construction purposes, equating to each 2000 sf residence consuming over one acre of virgin timberland. Building responsibly, one Transcon Steel residence will require the use of only six recycled cars.

Transcon Steel continues to monitor and refine new building technologies to maximize long-term environmental sustainability goals that support the “greening” of the constructed world. The Ultra Frame panel is one of many lasting technologies that can expect to come from Transcon Steel. We are creating the responsible approach to building.

Transcon Steel wants to be your partner in “Framing the Future”. We understand the total life-cycle analysis to environmental product selection; and we as a company strive to provide education to the marketplace on ever evolving trends.
