Wooden it be good: climate-friendly timber construction with Paul Brannen
This week I’m joined by Paul Brannen, a passionate advocate for timber framed buildings. Not just because timber has much lower embodied energy than steel, bricks and blocks, but because it sequesters carbon in that wood. So Paul and I dive into why timber frame construction isn’t very common in England and Wales (but is in Scotland), how that is changing, how modern forestry techniques support biodiversity and a whole lot more – enjoy!
