1 2 The Wood Products Council is a Registered Provider with The American Institute of Architects Continuing Education Systems (AIA/CES). Credit(s) earned on completion of this program will be reported to AIA/CES for AIA members. Certificates of Completion for both AIA members and non-aia members are available upon request. The Natural Change in Urban Architecture This program is registered with AIA/CES for continuing professional education. As such, it does not include content that may be deemed or construed to be an approval or endorsement by the AIA of any material of construction or any method or manner of handling, using, distributing, or dealing in any material or product. Questions related to specific materials, methods, and services will be addressed at the conclusion of this presentation. 4 Learning Objectives BUILDINGS ARE RESOURCE INTENSIVE AND COMPLEX At the end of this program, participants will be able to: 1. understand our motivation to develop a high-rise building in timber. 2. understand the detailed concept of a timber based construction system for high-rise buildings. 3. understand European building standards (e.g. energy performance). 4. take part in the realization of the first timber-based high rise building in USA. Worldwide, the building industry is responsible for: 40% consumption of resources 1) 25% - 40% consumption of energy 1) 30% - 40% emission of greenhouse gas 1) 30% - 40% of solid waste generation 1) 60% of emission caused by transportation 2) 1) Source: UNEP SBCI United Nations Environment Program 2) ton kilometres

If 5 billion humans would copy our western lifestyle we would need more than 2 additional planets for supply! very conservative Source: Prof. Dr. Schmidt-Bleek, Wuppertal-Institut COMPARISON OF PRODUCTS 150 lbs/ ft³ 485 lbs/ ft³ 28 lbs/ft³ + 2,060 lbs CO2 / ft³ + 1,250 lbs CO2 / ft³ - 60 lbs / ft³ 60 kwh/ft³ 142 kwh/ft³ 250 kwh/ft³ 5 kwh/ft³ TIMBER regional availability many different types of conifer/needle beam woods are possible renewable resources wood from certified suppliers only, e.g. FSC physical features high load bearing capability easy to handle good thermal insulation healthy atmosphere heart rate bpm lower in timber surrounding moisture balancing recyclable can be reused for new construction and renovations climate performance 10% CO 2 emission in comparison to conventional construction technology

Um 1800 lebten nur etwa 25% der Bevölkerung in Städten und rund 75% auf dem Land waren es bereits über 50% und laut Prognosen der Vereinten Nationen werden im Jahr 2050 über 75% der aller Erdbürger in Städten leben. We are responsible for the future. The future starts now!
