Brookhaven City Hall Site Tour: A Firsthand Look @ Mass Timber Construction

Opportunities for the built environment to help address carbon-related issues are at the forefront of discussions within the building design and construction community. The spotlight once held by operational energy efficiency has shifted to material choice and embodied carbon—and, in particular, which building products should be specified to achieve a more sustainable structure. This course takes a brief look at the use of wood products in construction and their ability to store carbon long term. It will also consider common questions related to the sustainable management of North American forests from which these products are sourced.

There will be 2 tour times available:

• 10:30am - 11:30am
• 1:30pm - 2:30pm

Lunch will be served at Terra Terroir at 11:30am in between the 2 tours.
