Increasing concerns about the building and construction industry’s contribution to global carbon emissions must focus on addressing the carbon locked in a structure when it’s built.

This Timber Queensland webinar assembles a panel of experts who will provide clear facts about sustainably growing and harvesting hardwood and softwood trees, the tools available to help buyers and specifiers make informed decisions about the environmental performance of products and explain why we feel better when we are in a timber building.

Attend this event to:

  • Know where timber comes from: learn the basic principles of sustainable forest management
  • Learn how to reduce embodied carbon in construction projects
  • Find out how Life Cycle Assessments work and how to utilise Environmental Product Declarations (EPD)
  • Evaluate the health & wellbeing benefits of biophlic design
