Answering a market need for information about wood 
Research indicates that many building professionals are not aware that wood from sustainably managed source has many environment benefits because it is renewable, has lower embodied energy than competing materials and sequesters carbon in the built environment.
 
Everyone is familiar with wood, yet many building professionals don't have the specific knowledge or experience to confidently specify wood for unfamiliar applications.
