Prefab Wood Event
With B.C.’s bold new CleanBC climate agenda and net-zero Energy Step Code targets for buildings, rapid innovations in construction are necessary.
Prefabricated wood construction offers a way to meet climate and energy targets while bolstering the economy of resource-based communities and creating new opportunities for the forest products sector.
Join us in Prince George, B.C. or online as we explore the transformative potential of prefab wood construction and the challenges and opportunities to grow this industry and to build better cities. Moderated by Alex Boston of Renewable Cities, the panel will feature Guido Wimmers of UNBC’s Wood Engineering Program and Trevor Hedstrom from Winton Homes & Cottage (a Sinclar Group Forest Products Company).
