Sustainability

As a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, Structural Associates (SA) is a leader in the application of green building techniques, including sustainable building design and alternative energy technologies.

We adhere to construction practices that benefit the environment and provide healthier living spaces for our Clients.

In each custom green home, we work to identify green building strategies that meet the design goals of the project, as well as provide value to our Clients.

Additionally, we offer comprehensive demolition services that maximize material salvage and recycling through local donations and reuse of materials.

Our Glenwood Springs office facility includes a solar photovoltaic system that was designed to maximize our usable roof area, as well as provide a minimum of 75% of our energy demand, including a 2400 sf office and a 5400 sf storage/mill shop.
