A US educational initiative funded by the softwood industry that promotes the use of timber in commercial, multi-family and institutional construction across North America. It offers technical resources, accredited training, case studies and research on solid timber and tall timber systems. It matters for decarbonising construction because it spreads awareness among architects and engineers of the advantages of structural timber over concrete and steel, a renewable material that stores carbon and reduces the footprint of buildings.
Why we chose it
Because it trains architects and engineers in structural timber, a renewable alternative that stores carbon.
