Social sustainability —

Our environments shape our behaviors, social interactions, health, and happiness. They make us feel safe, clean, and provide a space to share with our people. With proper design and initial investment, we can forever improve our quality of life and the lives of those closest to us. The use of CLT means that the buildings in their raw form are aesthetically beautiful, which research has shown to have a dramatic effect on mental health and outlook.

CLT’s absorb and release moisture readily, which stabilizes humidity levels in homes. This, combined with the total elimination of drywall, leaves no cavity in the wall for condensation buildup and mold. Solid wood is naturally hypoallergenic, according to the EPA.

When CLT and associated technologies are combined with concepts such as Pocket Communities, or fields of study such as Acrology (Architecture + Ecology), you can implement the creation of cityscapes, housing areas, or individual homes that support the health and wellness of the broader community and its inhabitants.
