From Reuse To Burial: Managing Mass Timber Beyond The Building Stage

10 min read

Mass timber has become a leading candidate for reducing the carbon footprint of construction. 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]
