Future of Mid-Rise and Mass Timber Wood Construction in B.C. (Part 5 of 5)
Advancements in wood technology, systems and products, together.
With performance-based building codes have fueled interest in building with mass timber in mid-rise construction and even taller buildings.
Developments in both wood frame and mass timber are bringing mid-rise wood buildings to a new level of affordability and transforming our understanding of what is possible with wood construction.
Wood also plays a key role in reducing a project’s environmental footprint. Wood products have less embodied energy, are responsible for lower air and water pollution, and have a lighter carbon footprint than other commonly used building materials.
