Its appeal lies in the way it displaces high emission materials like concrete and steel, and in the fact that it carries biogenic carbon stored from the atmosphere into buildings. That carbon advantage is only secure … [continued]

Mass Timber At Parity: Fixing Insurance & Code Bottlenecks
Technical feasibility is no longer the primary barrier for mass timber construction. Engineers and builders have proven that tall, strong, and safe structures can be delivered with cross-laminated timber and related products. The real bottlenecks now lie in insurance premiums and building code adoption. Insurers price risk, and without long … [continued]

The world’s forests play an essential role in mitigating climate change. They absorb billions of tons of carbon dioxide each year, yet sustainable forestation requires analysis of its environment and ecosystems — a delicate melange of continent, terrain, air, soil, and the local climate. Considering societal and industrial benefits and … [continued]
