Overview

Grant Description
Northeastern University New Hestia Award

Control Number: 2625-1626

Title: Century-Scale Carbon-Sequestration in Cross-Laminated Timber Composite Bolted-Steel Buildings

The project team's aim is to achieve widespread construction of carbon-negative multi-story buildings by 2050. Mass timber buildings are currently the most viable path towards this end. While codes now permit such buildings up to 18-stories, designers may prefer traditional materials for their longer spans. Engineers may also avoid timber designs in seismic areas, and local trades may have to be upskilled for the skills specific to timber construction.
