Thinking Green
SpaceJoist TE Believes and supports the Building Green Initiative by supplying products and technology that are not only helping our environment, but also show innovation and progress in our industry.
Efficient use of Wood Fibers
Through the technology of MSR (Machine Stress Rated) lumber, we are able to use less wood fiber and build stronger, more consistent product. We believe in preserving our environment by reducing our demand for virgin wood fiber. By building with SpaceJoist TEI, you can reduce wood fiber demand by 52% versus 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 new ore and preserves the natural habitat.
Reduce Carbon Emissions
SpaceJoist TEI trusses are made locally by our network of Regional TEI manufacturers, thus we can reduce the carbon footprint of the finished product by approximately 35% versus conventional 2x10.
Energy Efficiency
SpaceJoist TEI's open-web design is compatible with Energy-Star HVAC assemblies.
We at SpaceJoist TE fully support and encourage all builders to make use of this important building technology to preserve energy and our natural resources for today and tomorrow's generation of home owners!
