מיזם הבית הירוק מהווה תוספת לבניין שנבנה בשנות ה-60', תוספת שהפיחה מחדש חיים במתחם המשרדים כולו. מבנה הבטון המקורי שופץ והורחב באמצעות בניית המבנה הנוסף מ- CLT. מדובר במבנה בן 6 קומות המתפרש על-פני כ-4,645 מ"ק. הבניין מספק מרחב עבודה לעד 50 ארגונים לשינוי חברתי. הבנייה מ- CLT חסכה זיהום אוויר של 1,051 טון פחמן דו חמצני. מנוף אחד ו-5 פועלים בלבד הקימו את המבנה תוך 8 שבועות בלבד. למיזם זה סופקו 1,558 מ"ק של CLT.

In this episode of WoodSolutions InFocus Laurence visits a factory which produces cross laminated timber, or CLT. CLT is an engineered timber product that is quickly growing in popularity in the construction industry. With two-way action and high tolerance of shear forces, CLT panels can generally be used instead of concrete, saving huge amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. Here, Laurence sees how CLT is produced and learns more about the quality checks involved in the manufacturing process. For more information about wood, wood products, and how to design and build with wood systems make sure to visit our website at www.woodsolutions.com.au or get in touch today.

www.naturallywood.com Brock Commons is an 18-storey hybrid mass timber residence at The University of British Columbia (UBC). The building is comprised of 17 storeys of mass timber construction above a concrete podium and two concrete stair cores. The floor structure consists of 5-ply cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels supported on glue-laminated timber (glulam) columns. The roof is made of prefabricated sections of steel beams and metal decking. Brock Commons has the capacity for just over 400 students with floorplans ranging from single bed studios to 4-bed accommodations. Study and social spaces are located on the ground floor with a student lounge on the 18th floor, where the wood structure is left exposed for demonstration and educational purposes. Wood, a renewable material, was chosen in part to reflect the university’s commitment to sustainability. The building was also designed to meet LEED Gold certification. The estimated avoided and sequestered greenhouse gases from the wood used in the building is equivalent to removing 511 cars off the road for a year. The total carbon dioxide equivalent avoided by using wood products over other materials in the building is more than 2,432 metric tonnes.

O’Connor, 2010, A Synthesis of Research on Wood Products and Greenhouse Gas Impacts, FPInnovations (this relates to carbon stored and avoided GHG). **CO2 refers to CO2 equivalent.

William Silva of Swinterton Builders explains how building a 150,000 commercial office with mass timber in mind saved on both project cost and delivery time.

Building a skyscraper? Forget about steel and concrete, says architect Michael Green, and build it out of ... wood. As he details in this intriguing talk, it's not only possible to build safe wooden structures up to 30 stories tall (and, he hopes, higher), it's necessary.

Construction of the mass timber structure at the University of British Columbia’s Brock Commons Tallwood House took about nine weeks —two month ahead of schedule. The average speed of the mass timber erection and envelope installation was two floors per week. This included the columns and CLT panels, encapsulation of the wood components with gypsum board, the pouring of a concrete topping, and installation of the envelope panels. Having an integrated design team at the beginning of the project, as well as maximizing prefabricated wood components led to less traffic, reduced waste and a quieter, smaller site. Learn more about the design process in Chapter 2: https://youtu.be/ABQHbNwvU_s For more information on Brock Commons Tallwood House visit https://www.naturallywood.com/resource/introduction-to-brock-commons-tallwood-house-ubc-tall-wood-building/
