AUSTRALIA — According to Architecture 2030… we’re in the midst of the largest wave of building and infrastructure growth in human history. …Closer to home, this global pressure is reflected in Australia’s own urgent need for supply; with a national target to build 1.2 million new homes over the next five years. …WoodSolutions, Australia’s leading resource for timber information, suggests that to genuinely tackle this urgent carbon issue, the industry must look upstream, to the projects’ earliest design stages. The idea that the biggest carbon reductions come from a holistic approach to a project isn’t new – Kevin Peachey, Head of Built Environment Programs at Forest & Wood Products Australia at WoodSolutions suggests that whole-building carbon optimisation is well understood, and tools like the Whole-Building Lifecycle Assessment (WBLCA) are well supported. …T3 Collingwood – the national headquarters for WoodSolutions – is a prime example of how timber’s unique whole-building potential can scale into multi-level commercial construction.
