In this special guest episode I speak with Steve Clem who is the Senior Vice President- Project Planning Services and Tym who is the Mass Timber Superintendent at Skanska, both are based in Portland, Oregon. We discuss the changes to global construction as mass timber becomes more prominent across the planet. We also discuss the nature of changes in reporting for sustainable construction, and  how the impacts of the EU (through the Swedish HQ) are driving a different agenda in North America and beyond. A highlight is the discussion of the emergence of carbon accounting through tools like EC3 and LCA.  Please enjoy my conversation with Steve and Tym.
