Carbon intensity of mass timber materials: impacts of sourcing and transportation
Frontiers in Built EnvironmentMass timber construction is widely considered a promising alternative construction method to reduce buildings’ total life-cycle carbon emissions because wood is a carbon sink. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels, manufactured by gluing lumber layers with

The merits of varying forms of mass timber products for offsite and modular construction
Modular and Offsite Construction (MOC) Summit Proceedings, 2018 Mass timber is a family of Solid Laminate Timber Systems (SLTS) formed from smaller sections of timber connected by glue, mechanical fixings, moisture movement or a combination of methods. These products, which include Structural Composite Lumber, GluLam, Cross Lam, Nail Lam and Dowel Lam (or Brettstapel), have over the past two decades seen an ...
