ESD-3: Timber as a sustainable building material - Presentation
Timber is an easy to manufacture product. In its most complex form it remains a relatively non-capital intensive process, while in its simplest forms, only an axe and human energy is required.

ESD-3a: Sustainable timber specification
This presentation deals with specifying timber for ecologically sustainable design. It lists major considerations in selecting and using the correct timber for the application, while generating what is likely to be the minimum environmental impact.
As part of a move towards a sustainable industry, increasing consideration will need to be given to the environmental impacts of using different materials as these impacts become more apparent through constant updating of LCA analyses. Design professionals will need to look for new design options and a broader range of assembled sections in order to foster the production and specification of timber from sustainable sources.
