Green Structures NW is one of only a few certified LEEP AP's in
the Willamette and Spokane Valleys. We specialize in building residential and
commercial structures to benefit our clients and the earth.
Building green can actually save time and money during the
building process and provide savings long term for the owner.
Not only will a green building save money on utilities but also
costs less to maintain over the years.
For the past 25 years we have built green buildings for our
clients. We began building log homes over 25 years ago.
Log Homes provide more efficient insulating factors (up to 46%)
and use far less energy resources to construct. A log wall
for example uses only the full log. Where as a stick
framed home uses the same tree but adds the cost and use of
cutting the log into lumber, drying the lumber, transporting the
lumber, dry wall, insulation, sheeting, siding...imagine the
fuel and energy used to make all those products vs. just a log.

SIP's are Structural Insulated Panels that provide up to 60%
better insulating value, reduce construction waste by 70%, and
shorten your framing time by 80%. This is accomplished by
wall and roof panels that are designed to replace the framing,
insulation, and sheeting in a panel system. We can set a
roof on a typical home in 2 -3 days. It would take about 3
- 4 weeks to get the home to the same point with traditional
framing. You do not pay for weeks of labor, pay for
material that ends up in a scrap pile, and then pay to remove
the waste.
We work with clients to achieve Energy Star and LEED
compliance. These programs are in place and are certified
by independent agencies.
