Today I set up an innovative structural monitoring system for #MassTimber structures within Irish #CLT. Once validated for Irish timber, the system will be installed in mass #timber buildings in Ireland to measure its performance🌲🌍 #Sustainable #Carbonneutral #Construction

Find out when your country needs to be carbon neutral! The graph below shows the situation in #Ireland based on the IPCC #CarbonBugdet for our population as a percentage of the world population! showyourbudgets.org/?country=irela… #showyourbudgets

Great to see use of #masstimber #crosslaminatedtimber on the new Lidl Ireland store in Portlaoise. Avoiding some of the CO2 emissions of steel and concrete, using timber that stores carbon. Forest Industries Ireland Pippa Hackett Conan O'Ceallaigh
