Mass Timber and Tall Wood Construction

Buildings generate nearly 40% of annual global GHG emissions. One solution that is slowly taking root, pardon the pun, is mass timber construction.  Advances in mass timber construction have allowed for taller wood buildings of six storeys or more. To find out more about mass timber buildings and tall wood construction, EarthMatters spoke with Kevin McKinley, President & CEO of the Canadian Wood Council.  After that, we speak with Dr. Anne Koven, Director of the Mass Timber Institute.
