The Government of Canada created the Green Construction through Wood (GCWood) Program to encourage greater use of wood in construction projects in Canada. We want to catalyze a broader awareness of, and domestic capacity for, innovative tall wood buildings, timber bridges and low-rise wood buildings. Building with wood offers many benefits, including GHG emission reductions and opportunities for economic growth.
- The new Green Construction through Wood (GCWood) Program is designed to promote and increase the use of wood as a building material option across the construction industry in Canada. The benefits it aims to achieve include economic growth and GHG emission reductions.
- To encourage greater adoption and commercialization of wood-based products in the construction of innovative tall wood buildings, timber bridges, and low-rise wood buildings; replication of demonstrated innovative non-traditional wood-based buildings and timber bridges; research that addresses the gap in technical information needed to facilitate revisions to the 2020 and 2025 National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) to allow tall wood buildings beyond the current 6 storey limit.
