This is a profile of the economically-built and ecologically sound design of Aspen's new summit lodge, the Sundeck. From deconstructing the old building (grinding insulation and wallboard for mulch and reclaiming old fixtures, windows and beams) to employing energy-saving devices and design in the new structure, Aspen saved money and was awarded the distinction of having one of the first buildings in the country pioneering an effort to standardize building techniques and materials that are resource-efficient.
