Funded through the contributions of member companies and managed by World Steel Association, the first 5 year term of Living Steel ran from 2005 to 2010. A second 5 year term is being launched in 2011 and all companies interested in growing the market for steel housing are invited to join Living Steel.

(a) technology research to increase competitiveness in the areas of mid-rise and high-rise prefabrication, building performance and energy efficiency;

(b) development of low income housing solutions suitable for emerging markets using a ‘kit of parts’; and

(c) targeted communications to identify at least €175 million in sales leads accessible only by member companies.
