Timber Systems a company that describes itself as a “project design and engineering firm that delivers high-performance wood buildings made from cross-laminated timber panel System,” has become an advocate for CLT.
Innovative Timber, another advocate, built its first structure using the CLT panel material for a local business in Whitefish in the US last year.
At the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, a Bioenergy Research and Demonstration Project is now under way. It is being built with CLT walls and roof with a concrete foundation.
When completed, the 20,300-square-foot (1885 square metre) building will house biomass gasification equipment to produce electricity and steam for the UBC campus.
