Title:
Reach: A Concept Design Tool for Comparing Structural Systems
Agreement Number:
GCW-FASTEPP2
Agreement Value:
$150,000.00
Agreement Date:
Nov 18, 2022 - Mar 31, 2023
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.
Organization:
Natural Resources Canada
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.
