SALT LAKE CITY — JSA Architects has elected to purchase Blue Sky wind power as a natural extension of its work designing beautiful homes.  

“The finest homes and projects can only happen with scenic beauty, and scenic beauty comes with a healthy environment,” said Jennifer Clark, JSA Architects administrator. “That is why JSA Architects is conscious about our own environmental actions.”
 
Located at 6465 South 3000 East in Salt Lake City, JSA Architects is making a difference by purchasing 10 blocks (or 10,000 kilowatt-hours) of Blue Sky from Rocky Mountain Power each month. During a period of a year its purchase provides environmental benefits equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 12 tons, which has the same benefit as not driving 25,700 miles or planting five acres of trees.

JSA Architects specializes in high-end resort hotels and homes that can be flung wide open during the warmer months, but provide strong defense against harsh winter climates. Its designs take into account the peculiarities of Utah's topography, which incorporates desert, park land and mountain and snow-capped landscapes.

Blue Sky wind energy is one of the most popular green-power programs in the country, ranking second in the nation for the number of customers enrolled. In Utah, more than 18,200 residential and business customers buy renewable energy. More than 46,500 customers buy Blue Sky in the western United States. While Rocky Mountain Power already buys renewable power for its customers, Blue Sky is a way to bring even more into the system. Enrollment is optional and customers can increase their participation or withdraw at any time.

Businesses have two renewable options: Rocky Mountain Power’s standard Blue Sky Block offering and Blue Sky Quantity Savings. Blue Sky Quantity Savings allows large-business customers to buy renewable energy from Rocky Mountain Power for less, providing they purchase at least 101 blocks of Blue Sky per month for a year.
