BE-ST- Low Carbon Learning, Fabric and Structure - Module 3, Mass Timber Solutions Module, 11052022
Focusing on new homegrown products this module considers the whole life cycle analysis from forest floor to built environment .. supporting designers, specifiers, procurement, etc, to consider the full process (growing/felling/milling/optimising/drying/hauling/manufacturing) to ensure that the lowest embodied carbon options are chosen for the built environment and begin the transitional culture change from focusing on operational carbon, to the embodied carbon of specified construction materials
