Did you know that mass timber is a game-changer when it comes to reducing carbon emissions and lessening our environmental impact? Unlike traditional building materials, mass timber sequesters carbon rather than emitting it, making it a powerhouse for eco-friendly construction. Embracing mass timber means building a greener future for generations to come! #DesigningTomorrowToday⁠

The International #MassTimberConference wrapped up at the end of last month, and experts are still buzzing about the future of #masstimber for its sustainability, design, and functionality. This article dives into a panel discussion with Developer, Hines, and industry leaders like Jonathan Pierce (Ivanhoé Cambridge), Steve Cavanaugh AIA LEED AP (DLR Group), and Susan Croswell OAA MRAIC (HDR Inc.). They explore the compelling reasons behind large-scale mass timber development and its impact on the built environment. This article explores the top 5 takeaways from the discussion, including: 1️⃣ Origins of Innovative Projects 2️⃣ Embracing Sustainability 3️⃣ Design Matters 4️⃣ Scalability and Investment Opportunities 5️⃣ Challenges and Opportunities Share your thoughts and read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gS5TvG8f

🌲 In a breakout session around Circular Construction Practices, Earth Plant & Fiber and Gramitherm introduced bio-based building solutions. Among other pioneers like RotorDC & Beneens bouw en interieur they are trying to "seduce" the construction sector into new ways of designing, rethinking & constructing buildings. 🤷♂️ Tim Vekemans from RE-ST summarized it beautifully by reframing the panel discussion from an efficiency to a sufficiency mindset: do we really need to build new houses? #WCEF2024 #flanderscircular #bioeconomie

Timely post by our pioneering colleague Russ Vaagen @ Vaagen Timbers - Mass Timber for datacenters and light industrial. I'll add that also considering a hybrid steel / timber solution will expand opportunities in the sector even further. Russ also shares a couple important soundbites about the connection to our forests - this continues to be an under represented piece of the Mass Timber story and we can't do any of this without healthy forests. That's why many of our presentations are titled "Tree to Key". Onward & Upward!

May 14, 2024 @ 1:30 pm PT. Join Veronica Madonna at the RAIC 2024 Conference on Architecture in Vancouver for her presentation: "Building Healthier Futures: Using LCA to Drive Industry Buy-In for Sustainable Construction.” In light of the urgent climate crisis, our session will explore mass timber as a pivotal low-carbon solution in construction, focusing on its application in educational buildings and northern housing projects. Discover insights from two critical feasibility studies in Ontario: one on mass timber in primary schools and another on modular housing in Northwestern Ontario's workforce communities. The presentation will illustrate the use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), cost-carbon analysis, and health metrics to present a robust case for mass timber's benefits across environmental, social, and governance dimensions. We're committed to driving industry innovation, shaping policy, and promoting the adoption of sustainable materials for a climate-resilient future. #SustainableConstruction #MassTimber #ClimateAction #BuildingTheFuture

Sustainability sits at the heart of our future as a company and is vital to ensuring we can offer the highest quality and most cost-effective products and services for our valued customers. Cross-industry collaboration and education are the key to achieving this. In this article, I share the important role industry bodies like the Structural Timber Association Ltd and #FutureHomesHub can play in connecting professionals to accelerate change, and how I'm developing both my own and the Merronbrook Ltd team's skills around sustainability. https://lnkd.in/e8d5Q-XY #FutureHomesStandard #TimberConstruction #Construction
