Over 50% of the world’s current population lives in cities of more than a million inhabitants – and the trend is increasing. Resources are becoming ever scarcer and CO2 emissions from the global construction industry ever higher. Cities account for over three quarters of world energy consumption. It is not surprising that the global debate focuses on sustainability when considering the future. Around the world many prestigious and architecturally important buildings go up every day. Today’s urban development is based largely on conventionally built prototypes – involving high building costs, long construction periods and high planning risks. Plus, the traditional building industry now accounts for some 40% of energy and resource consumption as well as 40% of waste generation and CO2 emissions. The requirement to counteract spiralling climate change is easily defined: regardless of whether the focus is on manufacture of clothing, machinery, domestic appliances or cars or on housebuilding, equivalent benefit must be obtained in future – but without the previous use and consumption of resources. A challenge that Cree meets in full. By building with a sustainable raw material: wood. And by doing it in a system.
