About Session

James Bligh from Leftear shares the results of his groundbreaking research on the relationship between acoustic performance and embodied CO₂ in mass timber constructions. Drawing on both laboratory and in-situ tests, he demonstrates how alternative acoustic systems can reduce CO₂e by up to 66% – without compromising acoustic requirements. This presentation offers concrete, practical insights for everyone working with timber, acoustics, and sustainability.
