Green Buildings

AWC's Green Buildings team works closely with model, state, and local code and legislative groups, as well as with many standards developing organizations to ensure that wood is properly represented. Wood is the perfect green building material because it is renewable, stores carbon that reduces greenhouse gases, and is energy efficient.
