almost all steel is recycled and the companies report minor lead in the material due to the recycled materials - the one we are working on is 0.0 - 0.04% due to the materials

have be rejected due to the lead being noted - this in fact if you are using metal roofing or have steel in flashings how can the credit be obtained.

thanks

David, Our project was a renovation of the medical office building. Specs called for a TPO roofing system. Carlisle was the manufacturer. We sent them an email, that included all products used, requesting a statement on letterhead stating that all the products were free of lead, cadmuium and copper. I included the LEED credit language in the request. Carlisle kindly replied and sent a statement for each product confirming it complied with the credit and the other credits each product complied with and resources to find the documentation. We received PBT credit. I hope this helps. I found most manufacturers to be very helpful and responsive. I was determined to receive the credit. Ann
