As a winner of the 2018 Wood Innovation Grant from the U.S. Forest Service, Generate has been developing a catalog of tech-enabled and replicable kit-of-parts building solutions which utilize mass timber—a sustainable engineered wood product—to address the region’s twin pressures of increased urban density and carbon footprint reduction.
Boston is getting a “CLT Cellular Passive House Demonstration Project” that pushes every TreeHugger button.
Building with wood is a great way to avoid upfront carbon emissions (AKA embodied carbon) in construction; Passive House is the best way to avoid operating carbon emissions. Multifamily housing at “missing middle” or “Goldilocks” densities is the way to build sustainable cities.
That’s why this project by Generate Architecture + Technologies, partnered with developer Placetailor, pushes so many buttons. It does it all.
