Life Cycle Analysis of High Rise Timber Construction

by MADELYN ELIZABETH MARIE KRANTZ

In this study, I will conduct a life cyle analysis of cross laminated timber (CLT) and steel to compare two materials in high rise building use. A life cycle analysis consists of ratings based on the liquid, solid, and gaseous emissions produced by the creation, life, and end of life of the material at question. A streamlined life cycle assessment was used to conduct the analysis and develop an understanding of steel vs. CLT sustainability.
