Sustainable Use of Wood in Construction
SUSTAINABLE USE of Wood in Construction Sustainable Use of Wood in Construction There is a great deal of innovation in the use of wood in construction, from impressive modern buildings to new construction products that reduce build times and improve building performance. As a renewable resource with proven low embodied energy, wood is both an environmentally responsible and a highly practical choice as a construction material. However, forest management practices vary throughout the world: some are highly effective in delivering a sustainable, long term supply of timber; whereas others are less so, and could result in forest depletion and significant environmental degradation. Against this b...
Wood in Construction
Wood in Construction – How to Avoid Costly Mistakes focuses on the basic principles and appropriate use of wood in construction and illustrates how to avoid or minimise problems, to ensure that wood performs as expected when used in a construction application. Based on the author’s extensive experience of manufacturing processes and practical applications in the timber, construction, joinery, shop-fitting and furniture industries, Wood in Construction provides a guide to using wood in building in the real world. It describes the main causes of difficulty when using wood, and shows how to avoid or minimise problems, reducing the difficulties for the architect, engineer or specifier, builder and building owner. Technical enough to explain why things should be done in specific ways, but also practical enough to demonstrate how to use wood correctly and avoid doing the wrong things, this is an invaluable resource for construction specifiers (architects, engineers), carpenters, structural engineers, building surveyors, small/medium sized builders.
The World According to Room 224
Jim Coulson has had enough of the world he's known, rife with heartache, dead-end jobs, and the harsh reality that he's in his late twenties and still lives with his parents. Seizing an opportunity and venturing far from what he knows, Jim discovers his new lease on life yields new problems, new heartaches, and an unlikely companion. After befriending a gifted kid he encounters while running at the elementary park across from his new home, the child's observations compel Jim to question his every move. Uncertain with which direction to take, he must decide to either listen to himself, or take the advice of a 9-year-old girl. With his fantasy football, romantic interests, and future at stake, relying on anyone's opinion can be difficult, impossible even, when considering the source. In Jim's case, he must find the room to trust, before the mistakes of the past, become his present.
