Building Green isn't new to the structural building components industry. In fact, we've been
green since 1952! At SpaceJoist we believe and support the Building Green Initiative by
suppling products and technology that are not only helping our environment, but also show
innovation and progress in our industry. We help the Building Green concept through 4
important avenues...

Efficient use of Wood Fibers
Through the usage of multiple lumber grades
type and species we are able to use less wood
fiber and build stronger, more consistent
products. We believe in preserving our
environment by reducing our demand for virgin
wood fiber. By building with SpaceJoist, you can
reduce wood fiber demand by 52% vs.
Conventional 2x10!
Use Recycled Materials
We support Green Building by manufacturing
with all recycled steel for our V-Web's and splice
plates. This commitment reduces the need for
mining and preserves the natural habitat.
Reduce Carbon Emissions
SpaceJoist trusses are produced locally by
Regional manufacturers as well as directly from
our Missouri facility. By locating manufacturing
close to the job-site, we can reduce the carbon
footprint of the finished product by approx. 35%
vs. Conventional 2x10.
Energy Efficiency
SpaceJoist's open-web design is compatible
with Energy-Star HVAC assemblies.
