it comes down to carbon footprint, concrete and steel have a larger one in comparison. individual projects might not allow for wood as a viable option, but it should be an alternative when it's the best solution.
@@polskiewinnipeg CLT usually comes from FSC forests, not old growth. Mass timber locks carbon into a structure whereas building with steel and concrete releases huge volumes of carbon. So, timber is the way forward in terms of being kind to the planet and reducing global warming. For the record, I'd like all old growth forests to be protected so no-one can harvest them.
@@DevinSheaProductions dear boomer, the industrial era is long gone. Look at the damage you environmentally negligent assholes have caused and left for us to deal with. Now sit back and stfu and let today's engineers and scientists clean up your mess.
@@DescartesRenegade so you are gonna claim the work of others, interesting big mouth... lets for the sake of reality go with the premise new constructions aren't going away anytime soon. so maybe if you are worried about carbon footprints, you'd understand the benefit of projects like this over traditional steel and concrete. but i think rather you like to hear the sound of your own bullshit. if forests are managed responsible, on the community to make sure that happens, then projects like these are more than viable options, even preferred. learn more, then opine.
Not true. When you cut the tree the carbon it captured is now trapped in the wood you build with, and there is now room in the forest for another tree to grow and absorb more carbon. Most trees grow faster when older, but that doesn’t mean they’re more efficient per acre
@@DescartesRenegade I'm one of those 'today's engineers'. I agree, much damage was done in the past out of greed but mostly ignorance. And now we are here today fixing it and doing a fine job. For example, did you know there is more biological mass production (tree growth) in privately held properties than those of the BLM? It's a widely measured and confirmed fact. They measure every year. Private companies manage their lumber production land better. It's like growing the size of of a herd. The larger the herd, the more money can be made while providing literally millions of acres of wildlife habitat in the process. How cool is that? Our biggest hindrance to accelerated progress are ignorant putzes like yourself who are more interested in staging tantrums about whatever movement is most trendy at the moment. And then you come along and chain yourself to a tree and throw a tantrum. So then commerce is forced to go to Brazil for lumber, where it is harvested and not replaced in devastating fashion. If you're genuinely interested in discussing this I'd be happy to do so. If not, I plead for you to do any amount of research that us 'engineers and scientists' are doing before you make a bigger fool of yourself.
Lovely work. I’ll be BIMing my first CLT project, so I’m researching your work.
What are the thinnest non-load-bearing CLT walls we can have in residential homes in the US?
Retitle "Builders and its Company" show less of the timber just show us the workers. Great video thank you.
Great video!
Why this monotone demented music?
Why using that much lumber? Great job guys! I still think that this is a huge waste of lumber!
Structural rigidity and less weight. The idea is to not use concrete, also a sustainable construction.
@@annakquinn7084 yes clear cutting northern canadian forests which most likely take a 100 years to regrow is sustainable
@@polskiewinnipeg selective harvesting is a manageable practice, if its not exploited, that's one path.

This music is way too loud and pretty terrible. I guess they don't think the content is interesting enough.
"environmentally friendly"
Environmentally friendly would be not cutting down trees.
Dear Millinials, if you don’t know what this means, don’t comment. It’s above your head.
