Allied Steel Buildings is a national leader in Prefabricated Steel Buildings, providing innovative and expertly-engineered buildings to a wide variety of clients. Our company was founded on the principles of delivering high-quality services while at the same time promoting social and environmental sustainability. To that end, we’re proud to offer cutting edge Green Building solutions that will help benefit both the environment and your bottom line.
According to the US Department of Energy (DOE), buildings account for 40 percent of all energy consumed in the US, 71 percent of electricity, 38 percent of carbon dioxide emissions, and 36 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions. In short, buildings of every size and industry are contributing to the overconsumption of energy and the subsequent environmental damage that’s caused. With our affordable and timely buildings, you can help fight this serious problem while enjoying the fruits of a functional and cost-saving structure.
Indeed, while helping the environment is a reward in its own right, it’s also good for business. The typical building’s yearly energy costs represent 30 percent of their owner’s annual budget. The green solutions provided by Allied Steel directly address these issues. The business advantages of being green include a 9 percent reduction in operating costs, a 7.5 percent increase in building value, a 3.5 percent increase in occupancy ration, and much more.
Our designs incorporate features like prismatic skylights, which promote a substantial amount of natural lighting, thus removing the need for artificial need. Cool colored metal roofs – made from 100% recyclable products – help reflect heat and save on air conditioning. Similarly, our LEED-approved insulated panels are made with zero Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP), helping you save money and the environment. We can even provide long-lasting solar panels that provide as much as 70-80 percent of your hot water needs.
Building Green
Taking steps to build a green building not only helps save the environment, it also saves you a substantial amount in operating costs. Choosing to build with steel is not only the best environmental choice, it’s also one of the most cost-effective choices.
How and why this helps?
When you build green you reduce energy consumption, operation costs and minimize environmental impact.
A crucial step is to find an engineering team that is experienced in sustainable design, and familiar with utilizing a mix of green manufactured products and efficiency options. Depending on your project, check with the engineers for LEED-Certification requirements. If you not familiar with the LEED-Certification program, it can be a valuable resource to save money with government incentives. By purchasing a steel building, you are already taking advantage of green incentives. For instance, Allied Steel Buildings are manufactured with 90% recycled steel, which significantly decreases energy consumption and raw materials when manufactured. Furthermore, building with pre-engineered steel leaves behind less onsite waste and is less expensive in materials and construction costs than a traditional building from the start.
