For countless reasons, mass timber in the United States is typically associated with the Pacific Northwest. And while it is true that most wood used for production of mass timber in North America comes from Canada and the Pacific Northwest, the southeast United States is emerging as a serious contender in the market, now contributing a significant proportion of the North American lumber used for mass timber. While the sourcing of mass timber from the southeast is important by itself, it matters just as much for major organizations to adopt mass timber construction within the region and across the country. This session will explain the timber supply chain, regional variation, manufacturing limitations, and the impacts on carbon emissions.
