CORRIM: Workshop on Environmental Performance of Using Wood

This workshop was created to bring together international work on the environmental performance of using wood versus non-wood building products and the impacts on carbon. The workshop was mainly organized by Bruce Lippke and Lauri Valsta. Bruce Lippke is the President of CORRIM and a professor at the University of Washington and was instrumental in involving those doing research on LCI/LCA with CORRIM. Professor Lauri Valsta is a visiting scholar at the University of Washington from the University of Helsinki, and was essential in coordinating the speakers from Finland, Sweden, and New Zealand. Below is the directory of the presentations given at the workshop. Each presentation link consists of the video and corresponding slides, and will open in a new browser window. The video and slides were synchronized using Microsoft products, and work best using Microsoft Internet Explorer to view them.
