The built environment, where we live work and play, accounts for around 40 percent of the world’s global emissions. Of that, 11 percent of the emissions come from the materials that we chose to build with.
The Forest History Society will hold a Forest to Frame: Using Georgia’s Forests In Local Mass Timber Buildings webinar on June 7th from 1 to 2:15 pm EDT
Substituting traditional construction materials like concrete and steel with mass timber has the potential to materially reduce our carbon footprint with the added benefit of incorporating the beauty of wood into the architecture.
This webinar by Russell Gentry from Georgia Tech and Troy Harris from Jamestown will discuss how Georgia companies are using local forest resources to construct “locally grown” buildings with mass timber.
