2 SOM Research and Testing Survey of Recent North American Projects Future

3 Timber Tower Research Project The goal of the Timber Tower Research Project was to develop a structural system for tall buildings that uses mass timber as the main structural material.. that could compete with concrete and steel while reducing the carbon footprint.

4 Available Technologies

5 Available Technologies Mass Timber

6 Mass Timber Fire Resistance

7 Proposed Composite Timber System Competitive Buildings Marketable Resilient Serviceable Economical Sustainable

8 Carbon Footprint Comparison Sustainably Managed Forests Renewable Resource Less Global Warming Potential Improves Air & Water Quality Prevents Erosion Improves Soil Supports Biodiversity
