This report models the performance of the Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology (NMIT) building and virtual models of similar buildings using concrete, steel, and a “timberlow” option, over their full lifecycle. The report shows that structural timber is a viable option for large, commercial buildings both in initial construction and over the building's full lifetime, and provides a lower environmental impact. Costs and on-site construction time are included, as are architectural designs.
