Yes – the embodied energy of timber is much lower than most alternate construction materials such as concrete and steel. The use of locally grown timber in particular can further reduce the carbon footprint by reducing the haulage impact. We also think there’s an argument to be made that there’s a benefit to increasing the use of locally grown timber to stimulate the economy of this sector – better prices for growers will lead to more trees being grown.
