Description
The objective of the Project is to develop a publicly available online design tool called "Reach" that enables designers and key construction stakeholders to compare different building systems from a structural and carbon intensity perspective.
Description (French)
L'objectif du projet est de développer un outil de conception en ligne accessible au public appelé "Reach" qui permet aux concepteurs et aux principaux acteurs de la construction de comparer différents systèmes de construction du point de vue de la structure et de l'intensité de carbone.
Expected Results
The expected result is an increased use of mass timber in the construction industry by providing decision makers with accurate information about structural systems and embodied carbon early in a project's design process.
Expected Results (French)
Le résultat attendu est une utilisation accrue du bois massif dans l'industrie de la construction en fournissant aux décideurs des informations précises sur les systèmes structuraux et le carbone incorporé au début du processus de conception d'un projet.

Program Name (French)
Programme construction verte en bois
Program Purpose
The Green Construction through Wood (GCWood) is a new program that aims to catalyze a long-term transformational change in which more intensive use of sustainably harvested wood becomes a commonly considered option in construction projects in Canada, with broader benefits being realized, including GHG emission reductions and economic growth.
Program Purpose (French)
Le programme Construction verte en bois (CVBois) est un nouveau programme visant à catalyser un changement transformationnel sur le long terme dans lequel une utilisation plus intensive du bois exploitée de façon durable deviendrait une option fréquemment envisagée dans tous les projets de construction au Canada, en atteignant des avantages à plus grande échelle, notamment des réductions des émissions de GES et la croissance économique.
