Our challenges to decarbonise mid-rise and high-rise buildings in Japan

Takashi IMAMURA, Director, Building Guidance Division, Housing Bureau Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT), JAPAN

  • Plenary Session 1 : “Decarbonising the construction sector with wood”
  • ! Plenary session translated into French, English and Japanese !
  • - The Government of Japan has declared that Japan will aim at realising carbon neutrality by 2050. We have recognised the importance of improved use of sustainable low-carbon materials including wood, by using a “whole life cycle” buildings approach in design and considering the circularity in the renovation and construction of buildings. In Japan, some 90 percent of single-family houses are wooden. However, as for mid-rise and high-rise housing and other buildings, the percentage is still less than 10 percent. In order to promote the use of wood in those buildings, there have been increasing calls for further rationalisation of the fire safety regulations. The regulations for wooden buildings have been relaxed step-by-step, based on the evidence confirmed through experimental studies. In the past, the scale of wooden apartment houses was limited to 2 stories. After the millennium, however, wooden buildings with fire-resistive coverings have been treated as fire-resistive buildings, which can be built anywhere regardless of the scale or the occupancy. In 2022, the building code was further revised to realise large-scale wooden buildings without such fire-resistive coverings.

We can reach Climate-neutral construction by 2030

Josephine NELLERUP, Malmö City,Urban planning strategist, Sweden

  • Plenary Session 1 : “Decarbonising the construction sector with wood”
  • ! Plenary session translated into French, English and Japanese !
  • - The construction sector accounts for a large part of the cities´climate impact. It´s urgent to change the use of materials within the building and construction sector if the climate change should not become radical. In order not to exceed the 1,5 degree target, we must reach climate neutrality by 2030 and it is accivable. I will give you how we work together with the industry to reach netzero in the city of Malmö.

Inspirational Keynote : “Innovation and Evolution in Timber Design : An engineer’s perspective on architectural collaborations”

Greg KINGSLEY, KL&A Engineers and Builders, President CEO, USA.

  • Plenary Session 1 : “Decarbonising the construction sector with wood”
  • ! Plenary session translated into French, English and Japanese !
  • - The presenta on will draw on examples from three disparate wood projects connected by consistent themes in philosophy of design. The first is the Aspen Art Museum in Colorado by architect Shigeru Ban. The wood space frame roof structure, unique in the world, went through mul ple design itera ons, and ul mately required innova ve use of custom hardwood plywood. The second is a curvilinear wood sculpture that forms the drama c entry to the Viceroy Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, UAE. This 3-story tall structure was completely prefabricated in pieces small enough to be brought in through the front door and assembled by hand. The third project is a simple, mass mber office building in Denver Colorado. Though5ul collabora on with fabricators and builders resulted in one of the most economical mass mber buildings in the U.S. at the me. All three will be presented while highligh ng common threads and lessons learned that can be brought to bear in the design of any wood structure.

Radical Transparency: expanding markets story through numbers

Rachael JAMISON American Wood Council, Vice President of Markets & Sustainability, USA / Heather STEGNER American Wood Council, Vice President of Communications & Educational Outreach, USA.

  • Plenary Session 2 : “Unlocking new markets for wood in the built environment”
  • ! Plenary session translated into French, English and Japanese !
  • - The built environment is a major source of embodied carbon. If done thoughtfully, it can be transformed into a significant opportunity for global reduction and carbon storage. As policymakers, architects, designers and builders explore avenues for decarbonizing the built environment, they are looking for data and data transparency tools that accurately calculate the impacts of a whole building and the pros/cons of choosing one building material over another. The American Wood Council (AWC) has taken a lead role in the U.S. in researching and collecting product level LCA data for American wood products to quantitatively demonstrate the embodied carbon and stored carbon attributes that come from specifying wood products in buildings, from single family homes to multi-story commercial structures. The data AWC is collecting promises to support the expansion of markets for wood products by offering robust data on the reduced embodied carbon and significant stored carbon benefits of the products.

Opportunity to realize Sustainable Forestry value chain in Japan

Toru SAWADA, Founder and CEO, Brighten Japan, Inc. Senior Executive Fellow, Industrial Growth Platform, Inc. Former Senior Managing Executive Officer, SUMITOMO MITSUI BANKING CORPORATION

  • Plenary Session 2 : “Unlocking new markets for wood in the built environment”
  • ! Plenary session translated into French, English and Japanese !
  • - Based on the current situation, he will explore the possibility to realize Sustainable Forestry value chain in the future. Historically, Japan implemented afforestation in response to a surge in housing demand after WWII, but imported lumber increased its market share beginning in the 1960s. Today, in response to the government's policy of promoting domestic timber, self-sufficiency in lumber has increased to 40%, but there is room to improve domestic forestry value chain. Based on the knowledge gained in the financial sector, he will present a hypothesis for reconstructing the value chain of wood production, distribution, and utilization in collaboration with various companies and stakeholders.

Growth and Regrowth – Limberlost Place and the use of Timber in Ontario.

Carol PHILLIPS, Moriyama & Teshima Architects, Design Leader & Partner, Canada.

  • Plenary Session 3 : “Emerging mid and high rise timber construction projects worldwide”
  • ! Plenary session translated into French, English and Japanese !
  • - The lecture will focus on the design and ongoing construction of the pioneering Limberlost Place for George Brown College, a 10-storey, exposed mass timber, net-zero carbon emissions building for an assembly occupancy designed in collaboration between Moriyama Teshima Architects and Acton Ostry Architects. The project is the first of its kind in Canada, possibly the world, that proposes assembly uses, teaching spaces throughout the 10-storeys and features an innovative beamless long span solution and has influenced the growth and uptake of timber structure in other midrise applications. The lecture will also touch on a few other relevant projects that are currently in design and construction. Topics of consideration include the status of the mass timber fabrication, the status of approvals and regulations, the status of forestry regulations, and other challenges and opportunities specific to design and to Canada, that can be considered as a transferrable discussion internationally.

Timber adaptive re-use – the Melbourne context

Julian ANDERSON Bates Smart, Director, Australia

  • Plenary Session 3 : “Emerging mid and high rise timber construction projects worldwide”
  • ! Plenary session translated into French, English and Japanese !
  • - Building with timber can absorb tonnes of CO2 from our atmosphere, while also offering a multitude of additional benefits, including promoting wellbeing and connection to nature, as well as humanising high-density environments for us to live, work and play. The session will focus on the use of timber-based technology for new developments and refurbishments, demonstrating the effect this can have on global cities like Melbourne, Australia. Using 55 Southbank Boulevard as a case study, this adaptive reuse project demonstrates how mass timber extensions can make older, lower-grade commercial buildings more desirable to potential tenants and lease holders by increasing their efficiency and sustainability credentials.

Heavy-weight CLT floor impact sound insulation using a bang machine and a rubber ball

Dr Atsuo HIRAMITSU, Building Research Institute, Department of environmental Engineering, chief research engineer, Japan

  • Technical Workshop 1 : Acoustic Performance of timber buildings
  • - Low-rise public buildings are being considered for timber construction, and the Act on Promotion of Use of Wood in Public Buildings aims to promote the use of wood for interiors as well. Among these public buildings, timber construction for school buildings is under consideration. Timber buildings are expected to not only contribute to a decarbonized society and the effective utilization of domestic timber but also to improve the educational environment. However, the sound insulation performance, particularly the floor impact sound insulation, of timber construction buildings is often problematic due to its lower performance compared to traditional materials. To address this issue, countermeasures need to be taken for floor finish structure, floor frame structure, ceiling structure, and other relevant areas. Our research focuses on measuring the sound insulation performance of timber school buildings with cost-effective floor impact sound insulation measures. In this presentation, I will provide an overview of the actual sound insulation performance observed in some timber school buildings.

First results of the NHERI TallWood test: Seismic response of a large-scale 10-storey wooden building

John VAN de LINDT, Colorado State University, Professor, USA

  • Technical Workshop 3 : Dynamic Performance of Timber Buildings
  • - Wood has thousands of years of history as a building material but has been restricted by building codes and regulations following the industrial revolution. In the Unites States, wood buildings were viewed as a cost-effective, but less engineered system mainly for low-rise options up to about four stories. Mass timber construction was introduced to North America as a new way of utilizing wood material for modern, high performance buildings at both large and small scales. It gives rise to the currently trending conception of wooden sky-scrapers. This presentation will provide an overview of the NSF-funded NHERI TallWood Project that focused on developing seismically resilient tall wood buildings. Specifically, this project culminated in a shake table test program on a full-scale 10-story wood building with post-tensioned mass timber rocking walls. At 34 meters in height, it is the tallest full-scale building ever tested on a shake table to date and demonstrated convincingly that an “earthquake-proof” tall wood building is possible. The planning, building deign, and initial results from NHERI TallWood Project will be presented.

Circular wood construction in Japan: mass timber strategy and quantitative analysis for greater and longer use of wood

Sho ITO, Obayashi Corporation, Architect, Japan / Yosuke KOMIYAMA, Kyoto University, Architect, Japan

  • Technical Workshop 5 : Circular economy and reuses
  • - Obayashi Corporation and Kyoto University present research on timber construction strategy and quantitative analysis for "more" and "longer" use of wood to achieve "Circular Timber Construction" in Japan. Mass Timber / Tall Timber is being promoted to achieve sustainable management of forest resources in Japan. Against this backdrop, "Port Plus," Japan's first high-rise all timber building, was completed in 2022. Using "Port Plus" as a case study, this presentation clarifies issues in the supply chain for Mass Timber / Tall Timber in Japan and proposes the need for a platform (Wood Industrial Complex) for cascading timber use and thermal recycling of waste wood.
