The Steel Framing Industry Association (SFIA) has released a revised Environmental Product Declaration for Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) Framing, a must-have tool for contractors, building owners, architects and others who strive to deliver advanced building designs that meet the latest LEED™ and other sustainable rating systems, programs and standards.
The new SFIA EPD for CFS Framing — SCS-EPD-07103 (version Sep. 15, 2025, valid through May 27, 2026) — can be seamlessly integrated into project specifications as an option with company-specific EPDs. SFIA offers the SFIA Specifications Review Service for steel framing, which is a completely free checkup.
SFIA Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), SCS-EPD-0713, version September 15, 2025. Valid through May 27, 2026.
“The cold-formed steel framing EPD is another tool for the industry to use, not only for meeting green standards, but also as another example of the sustainability of steel,” says Don Allen, SFIA executive director. “It builds on other well-known sustainability attributes, such as recycled content, infinite recyclability and durability of cold-formed steel framing members.”
- CFS products represented by the declaration include only those companies listed in the new EPD
- The current EPD is an opt-in project of the SFIA membership, whereby only members who participated in the study are listed on the EPD
- Nonmember manufacturers or contractor-manufacturers would need to file a membership application before becoming eligible to be added to the EPD
