Wooden Building Elements

Wooden building elements and bio-based construction materials projects use sustainably sourced biomass, such as wood from managed forests or wood/paper waste from local sources, to create construction materials. These materials can sequester carbon for extended periods of time (typically 50-100 years) and reduce reliance on traditional, emissions-intensive building materials. These projects can also include other benefits such as job creation, waste reduction, and recyclability of the building materials at their end-of-life which contributes to circular economy principles in the construction industry. Wooden structures can also provide improved insulation properties, potentially reducing the energy required for heating and cooling, which further contributes to emission reductions.
