Material
Copper
Copper is a highly durable, corrosion-resistant metal used in sheet, strip, and cladding forms for architectural applications, offering natural patina development over time. It is produced from recycled scrap, with a reference service life exceeding 100 years in building contexts.
Employed in roofing, facades, and flashings, particularly in cultural buildings and museums alongside glass and stone. Its malleability supports complex detailing and weathering to green patina.
Product stage GWP ranges from 2-5 kg CO2e per kg depending on alloy and process, offset by high recyclability with credits in module D. Embodied carbon is lower for 100% recycled content variants.
