Mass timber carbon solutions - reducing life-cycle carbon emissions with mass timber construction [PDF]

, 2023
Mass timber construction is gaining momentum every year, driven by the urgency of reducing carbon emissions in the construction world. Some of its advantages are structural performance, ease of construction, and a variety of options to suit different applications. One of the biggest risks in timber buildings LCAs is confusion over biogenic carbon. LCAs

Modular construction and circularity. A case study of a mass timber design studio [PDF]

Modular and Offsite Construction (MOC) Summit Proceedings, 2022
The increased use of wood-based materials such as CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) can reduce the GHG emissions of the construction sector. Likewise, offsite and modular construction methods can lead to more efficient material use, reducing construction-generated solid waste.
