Panelized Construction

Panelized wood wall framing construction can be more environmentally and climate friendly in a few different ways:

  1. Reduced waste: Because the panels are pre-cut and pre-drilled at a factory, there is less waste generated on the construction site compared to traditional stick-built construction. This can help to reduce the amount of material that ends up in landfills.

  2. Energy efficiency: Panelized construction can result in more energy-efficient buildings due to the precision and consistency of the panels. This is because gaps and drafts that can occur in traditional stick-built construction are less likely to occur with panelized construction, which can lead to better insulation and fewer air leaks.

  3. Sustainable materials: Panelized construction can also make it easier to incorporate sustainable materials into the building process. For example, the panels can be made with wood from sustainably managed forests, or with recycled wood products.

  4. Reduced transportation emissions: Panelized construction can also result in reduced transportation emissions, as the panels are typically shipped to the construction site on a single truck, rather than multiple trucks delivering individual materials. This can help to reduce the carbon footprint of the construction process.
