The Softwood Lumber Board (SLB) and USDA Forest Service’s second annual Mass Timber Competition: Building to Net-Zero Carbon is now open for proposals from eligible teams. Conceived to promote and expand the use of mass timber in American building projects, the competition awards $2 million in total to project proposals that showcase commercially viable and sustainable mass-timber or hybrid mass-timber building solutions and support the burgeoning sectors of wood products design, engineering, construction, and manufacturing.
Fully supported by the SLB and USDA, funding for the competition aims to support the use of mass timber systems—cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glulam among them—and to “help project teams overcome barriers to the use of a new building material and system, most notably the costs of analyzing design and engineering alternatives and verifying that these solutions comply with applicable code(s),” per a competition overview.
