Timber Innovation Act

The Timber Innovation Act is a U.S. law designed to encourage the use of wood in construction, particularly for tall buildings and advanced building designs. It supports research, development, and adoption of innovative wood products, promoting sustainability and reducing reliance on more carbon-intensive materials like steel and concrete. By funding projects and fostering collaboration between industry and research institutions, the Act aims to enhance the market for timber products, benefit forest management, and contribute to environmental goals, such as lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Ultimately, it seeks to position wood as a smart choice in modern construction.
