Gotta be GREEN?

Green Building, Leed Requirements, FSC Certified...what does all of this mean?

Here at Vermont Timber Works we are seeing these requirements more and more in heavy timber commercial construction, and we are happy to offer options.

Using FSC timbers and reclaimed timbers can get you LEED points!

Upcoming Projects with FSC Timber

• Shenandoah Visitor Center (Hemlock)
• Clay Pit Pond Visitor Center (Douglas Fir)

Upcoming Projects with Re-Claimed Timber

• Davis Residence (White Oak)
  
  "FSC " stands for the "Forest Stewardship Council". There are two types of FSC certificates available, Forest Management and Chain Of Custody. More Info. As more saw mills team up with certified forestry teams, the more choices YOU will have, and perhaps the pricing for this certification will come down a bit.
  
  "LEED" stands for "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design". Leed offers different levels of compliance, Silver, Gold and Platinum. More Info
  Distance also has an effect on LEED points.....material within 500 miles is favorable.

Heavy Timber Construction / Citizen's Park Playground

(Professional pics are on the way)

This timber frame project is a beauty. Citizen's Park Playground in Barrington, IL.

The Douglas Fir Heavy Timber Construction and the Masonry, what a combination. Look at that heavy timber construction. Stay tuned for MANY photos of this!

Brian @ Stuckey Construction and his crew set these frames and did a wonderful job.

David V. Stermetz @ Williams Construction Management and Tom Lalonde @ Williams Architects were great to work with as well. We hope to work with this group again!
