 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Aluminum Association Set to Show Huge Benefits of Building with AluminumAssociation will exhibit at METALCON 2009 ARLINGTON, Va., September 30, 2009 (News Release) — The Aluminum Association’s (AA) Building and Construction (B&C) Committee is ready to show how aluminum is driving the green building industry. The Association will exhibit at METALCON 2009, which will take place October 6-8, 2009 at the Tampa Convention Center, 333 South Franklin Street in Tampa, Florida. Aluminum is durable, flexible, recyclable, and strong making it the material of choice for builders around the globe. In fact, today companies are working harder than ever to be more environmentally conscious. Aluminium building products are made from alloys that are weather-proof, corrosion-resistant and immune to the harmful effects of UV rays. Aluminum’s lightness allows architects to design light structures with more stability and the means to meet required performance specifications, while minimizing expenditure on foundations. Chuck Johnson, AA’s Director of Environment, Health & Safety will be on-site to promote this information and more at METALCON, booth #104. METALCON will feature more than 8,000 professionals from over 50 countries. Attendees and exhibitors include architects, engineers, contractors (roofing, residential and metal building), developers and building owners. The three-day event also includes educational programs with green building topics to serve the growing interest in metal’s key role in improving energy-efficiency in buildings. The B&C Committee, which is sponsoring this year’s booth, continues to aid sustainability messaging through end-of-life recycling rates and use-phase environmental benefits of aluminum in building and construction applications. # # # The Aluminum Association, based in Arlington, Virginia, works globally to aggressively promote aluminum as the most sustainable and recyclable automotive, packaging and construction material in today’s market. The Association represents U.S. and foreign-based primary producers of aluminum, aluminum recyclers and producers of fabricated products, as well as industry suppliers. Member companies operate more than 200 plants in the United States, with many conducting business worldwide. |
