If you are planning a LEED-certified build, you need a design-build team with structural engineering expertise. Hiring the right firm will help you get a higher rating and take advantage of all the benefits of green construction. The Structures Group can help you get your green build completed on time and on budget, and ensure that it meets LEED standards. 

Meeting LEED Standards for Sustainability

Globally recognized, LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the most widely used green building rating system. Attaining LEED certification takes a talented team of architects, engineers, and contractors—especially for large commercial or industrial structures. From design and materials to construction practices, meeting LEED standards gives your building prestige as well as all the benefits of green design.

Advantages of LEED Construction

Sustainable design offers many advantages, for the environment as well as the building owner. Green buildings not only use fewer, more sustainable materials, they also use less energy and maximize renewable power sources. 

LEED-certified buildings:

• have less impact on the environment
• use sustainable resources
• keep construction materials out of landfills
• save on energy
• offer lower operating costs
• attract tenants
• increase your building’s value

LEED Certified Design with The Structures Group

We use environmentally friendly materials to create visually striking modern structures like the Northern Arizona University Applied Research and Development Building. For this project, we worked directly with another steel subcontractor to provide the 28 steel-glulam hybrid columns that make the atrium design so appealing. Sunlight provides more than 75% of the lighting for this green build, and it earned a Platinum LEED rating from the U.S. Green Building Council.

The Structures Group offers an integrated team approach to the design and erection of engineered structures. We will work closely with your architects, developers, and contractors to minimize job site issues and produce on-time, on-budget, environmentally-friendly results. We have the expertise needed to make sure that your green build gets a high LEED rating.
