Now more than ever, building and design professionals face challenging mandatory requirements for tracking, reducing, managing and reporting on carbon emissions and savings across projects, with ‘zero-carbon’ initiatives carrying a significant impact for the building and construction sector.
Join Timber Queensland and our panel of experts to explore Queensland case studies, the NIOA Brisbane Timber Tower and the UniSC Moreton Bay Campus Expansion, where timber delivered substantial carbon offsets; discover the recently launched Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) Database simplifying finding and navigating the depth of environmental impact data on products used in Australian projects; and learn more about exactly where your timber comes from – and how responsible and sustainable forestry management can make a difference to your next project.
- Explore behind-the-scenes case studies into prominent local projects, the NIOA Brisbane Timber Tower and the UniSC Moreton Bay Campus Expansion, that achieved significant carbon savings through use of mass engineered timber.
- Discover WoodSolutions’ Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) Database that makes it simpler to reference Environmental Product Declarations for structural (both treated and untreated), aesthetic, and landscaping components manufactured in Australia and overseas to support informed decision making and easier carbon tracking and reporting.
- Learn where your timber comes from, the sustainable and responsible practices that go into its management, and why that makes a difference to your projects.
Attendees will be provided with a CPD certificate.
