PIONEER OF THE YEAR
HOME GROWN CABIN
The Home-Grown Cabin is a research programme funded by the Forestry Commission and London Metropolitan University. The cabin demonstrates the regenerative, circular and scalable use of locally sourced coppiced hardwood in construction. Coppiced sweet chestnut timber was used to make the first ever green / unseasoned structural insulated panels (SIPS). The panels were lined internally with Ash affected by dieback and clad externally with a cleft sweet chestnut rainscreen.
NORDIC CLT: RECYCLED CLT
PIONEER OF THE YEAR
Green product is getting greener. Recycled CLT put CLT back to long CO2 lifecycle products. In CLT production significant amount of large size cut-offs are being generated that usually are being chipped and burned (CO2 emitted back into atmosphere). We have developed a technology that helps to bring these cut-offs back into long CO2 cycle products and structural use.
