Healthy Pre-Fab Construction
Join the Northwest EcoBuilding Guild for an engaging evening focused on two different prefabricated wall systems and their role in advancing high-performance building. Heather Mott of Collective Carpentry and Peter Jensen of Build with Nature will share insights from the field, including benefits, manufacturing processes, construction techniques, and on-site installation considerations. Learn how prefab wall assemblies can streamline construction, improve energy performance, and reduce environmental impact, and improve indoor heath. Whether you’re a builder, designer, or sustainability advocate, this session will offer valuable inspiration for your next project.
