Sustainability beyond the norm
We care about the longevity of your building, and the land it sits on. When it comes to sustainable construction, steel is an unparalleled choice. This natural material is incredibly strong, non-toxic to produce, and infinitely recyclable and reusable—making it an excellent investment in the future of your business and your community.
As a member of the Metal Building Manufacturers Association, we are experts at steel construction. For 70+ years, we have worked to develop innovative design strategies that deliver efficient and cost-effective metal facilities that don’t compromise on quality.
With our ever-growing collection of Energy Star® certified products and green expertise, our team offers an incomparable experience that can contribute greatly toward your project’s sustainable design and LEED certification.
What it means to “build green”
Building green is a movement toward constructing high-performance buildings that do more than house a business—they improve the local and global community. By combining design and manufacturing practices to include built-in sustainability features and materials, green construction creates environmentally responsible buildings that maximize savings and efficiency.
Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword around here—it’s our way of doing business. Our construction expertise combined with our alternative products and innovative building processes makes our team the perfect partner for your next sustainable construction contract. Let’s build a better building together.
Energy efficiency & renewable energy
Safeguard water & water efficiency
Conservation of materials and resources
Indoor environmental quality
Utilizing recycled materials is a major component of LEED point eligibility. We use recycled steel to manufacture our steel frames, roofs, and wall systems, which help meet certification requirements and sustainability standards. Additionally, our steel systems can be relocated and reused, providing expanded adaptability for different end uses that greatly extends the usable life of your facility.
Providing energy-efficient construction solutions has been a part of our heritage since 1948. We offer an ever-expanding range of code-compliant, efficiency-enhancing structural components, like our ThermalClad Insulated Wall & Roof Panels. These panels maintain a superior insulating value that makes them an ideal choice for controlled-environment buildings where temperature and insulation are critical.
We also offer natural lighting options that provide notable savings on energy costs. From our PrisMAX SL skylights with a prismatic lens system for maximum light dispersal to our translucent Tuf-Lite & Wallite panels, which provide 60% natural light transmission inside the building, we can help add points to the overall sustainable design score of your next project.
With VP Command®, you can see the future of the entire project, including site-specific code parameters that are vital for LEED certification and innovative design procedures that help reduce materials and waste. You can even explore alternative design scenarios within your specific sustainable design parameters.
