Mullum Creek Design Guidelines Page 34 of 72

5.2.3 Timber Timber, the original renewable resource, can contribute significantly towards creating a truly sustainable home. But there are serious risks to native forests and threatened species both in Australia and overseas from unsustainable timber harvesting. Luckily, there is a wide range of sustainable timber products available, many of which are included on the Timber Products Guide on the Mullum Creek website. Consulting this list will make the task of selecting appropriate timbers much easier. If, however, you wish to use a product that is not included on the list, the product must meet the Requirements set out below. Refer to the Timber Products Guide on the Mullum Creek website for the current list of approved timber products, the applications to which they are suited, and where you may obtain them.

Mullum Creek Design Guidelines Page 35 of 72

Objectives { Promote the use of timber that is fit for its intended purpose, yet not beyond the grade required

with regard to strength, exterior durability, dimensional stability, hardness, appearance, etc.

{ Promote the use of timber harvested or sourced with minimal adverse impacts on naturalecological systems.

{ Minimise the use of timber harvested in ways that cause adverse impacts on forest-dependenttraditional communities.

{ Maximise use of timber products that contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

{ Minimise the use of timber products containing toxic additives.

Detailed Requirement

R30 1) All timber must be at least one of the following:

a) a product included in the Mullum Creek Approved Timber Products List.

b) recycled timber (e.g. from a prior construction use) whose origin can beverified via a chain-of-custody declaration from the supplier, or via obviousphysical evidence such as nail holes, etc.

c) certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and:

x harvested from trees grown in Australia or New Zealand; or

x provided that it is no greater than 6mm thick, a veneer or panel productsourced from forests outside Australia and New Zealand.

2) Manufactured wood products must meet the requirements in (1) above, and havelow formaldehyde emissions to E0 standard (≤0.5mg/L or 0.041ppm) under AS2098.11 and AS 4266.16.

3) Timber products treated with copper-chrome-arsenate (CCA) must not be usedat Mullum Creek.

Manufactured wood products include laminated veneer lumber (LVL), glulam, I-Beam, cross-laminated timber (CLT), plywood, particleboard and fibreboard (MDF and HDF).

The DRC may update its Timber Products Guide from time to time, by listing other timber products that meet the above Objectives and/or Requirements. Please contact the DRC if you know of other timber products that you believe meet the criteria of Requirement R30, and that you wish to put forward for review and inclusion in the Guide. There is a Timber Selection Form (Other Proposed Timber Products) on the website that you can use to request review of such products. Please provide supporting documentation as requested on the sheet to enable the DRC to assess the product.

TIMBER PRODUCTS GUIDE Explanation and principles underlying Guidelines Requirement R30

SELECTING AND USING ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY TIMBER AT MULLUM CREEK

Mullum Creek’s vision promotes housing options that are environmentally sensitive. This includes the selection of building materials that have minimal impact on the environment in their production, use and eventual disposal.

The harvesting and production of timber for the building industry can have significant ecological, social and economic impacts, however it can also contribute much to the creation of a beautiful, environmentally sensitive home. Therefore, selecting the most appropriate timber is very important.

The benefits of using timber are many, as it can: • add beauty, warmth and texture to a home• be reused or recycled• act as a store of carbon for the life of the timber product• be sourced from sensitively managed forests, helping to maintain healthy ecological processes and carbon storage, and

contributing to the social and economic well-being of local communities

Poorly managed timber production can result in: • serious impacts on flora and fauna, soil health, and waterways• reduction in storage of carbon and the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere• reduction in the social and economic health and well-being of local communities

Many timber products currently available do not take these impacts into account, and their use can have serious consequences for forests, environments and communities across the globe. Fortunately, there are an increasing number of products on the market that are produced in more environmentally responsible ways. Section 5.2.3 of the Mullum Creek Design Guidelines includes Objectives and a Requirement, R30, to drive the use of these low-impact materials. To make things easier, Mullum Creek’s consultant architect, Paul Haar, has compiled a list of locally available environment friendly timber products that comply with R30, suitable for use across a range of applications in your home.

SELECTING ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE TIMBER

One of the most important tasks in identifying these sensitively sourced timber products is to ascertain whether or not their production is environmentally responsible – assuring ourselves that impacts on forests, soils, waterways and communities are minimal.

The most effective way to avoid these impacts is to use recycled timber products, as this does not involve the extraction of new timber from forests, and gives new life to stored carbon. The next is to select products produced in an environmentally and socially responsible manner, from growing and harvesting the trees through to producing and distributing the finished product.

We have verified a number of environment friendly timber products through our own enquiries, and these are included on the list. Unable to personally check each product, we rely on third party certification schemes to identify sensitively sourced timber products, and to ensure that the performance of the companies remains up to standard. A number of these certification schemes exist, and we are most comfortable with the Forest Stewardship Council’s (FSC’s) approach. The FSC standard uses multidisciplinary criteria, is considered rigorous and independent, is respected by many environmental organisations, and enjoys the support of markets attuned to sustainability, such as northern Europe’s. Our list emphasises timber sourced from Australia and New Zealand (AU/NZ), where we are confident the FSC standards are rigorously applied and adequately audited, and for which the energy costs of transportation are lower.

Timber from state forests in Victoria and other regions in Australia is currently produced under the Australian Forestry Standard (AFS) in accordance with benchmarks set by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). It is important to note that this is a different standard to the FSC’s. Timber harvested only under the AFS is not currently included on our list, as the programme:

• is considered less rigorous than the FSC standard, • is largely industry-driven and therefore is considered to be less independent, and • is not supported by as many environmental organisations as the FSC’s standard.

With very few exceptions we do not currently have confidence in products sourced from Asia, South America or the Pacific under any certification schemes, due to difficulties in administering, monitoring and auditing forestry operations in these regions. Notwithstanding our support for the FSC standard and local production, we have included a few timber products that are either non-FSC certified or not of AU/NZ origin, where they are either:

• highly environmentally responsible though not yet produced in Australia, but for which increased local demand may encourage local manufacture e.g. Accoya treated wood from Europe, and Italian particleboard made from post-consumer wood waste;

• harvested from Australian plantations which we are confident are relatively benign environmentally, and where FSC certified product of equivalent performance is not available (e.g. Hoop Pine, Monterey Cypress, Sugar Gum, and Maritime Pine as LVL), or

• the most environmentally responsible products from a field of non-FSC or non-AU/NZ products, which if not included would leave important applications for timber poorly served e.g. ‘Havwoods Pureplank’ engineered floor board, ‘Modwood’ decking, and ‘Wicanders Corkcomfort’ glue-down cork

We have also included FSC certified engineered bamboo flooring products grown and manufactured in China.

IN CONCLUSION

Finally, please be mindful that, regardless of its inherent ESD credentials, wood applied to building and landscape construction is environmentally responsible only if it is:

• fit for purpose in terms of strength, durability, dimensional stability, hardness, insect and fire resistance, appearance and affordability, yet equally not over-specified for performance (see www.woodsolutions.com.au/Articles/Resources/Design-Construction-Guides);

• used with minimal waste in design dimension and construction off-cut; • where externally exposed, detailed for durability and longevity (the Wood Solutions website can provide advice), and • designed and detailed for effective re-use at the end of its service life, avoiding glues and over-nailing, and favouring screw fixing

where feasible. We hope this list helps you source environmentally responsible timber products for your new home. Feel free to share it widely. And please notify its author Paul Haar via the DRC if you find a product that is not on the list but you believe meets the objectives and/or requirements of Section 5.2.3 of our Design Guidelines. Your contribution will help to further populate the list and maintain its currency on the Mullum Creek website. Enjoy working and living with wood - this gift of nature that needs and deserves our respect and care. Notes on use of the Approved Timbers List The Approved Timbers List contains a considerable volume of information in chart form across three pages. This information is difficult to navigate by zooming and scrolling the electronic (pdf) file. We recommend you print out its first two pages in A3 landscape format. Your overview of approved timber products and their recommended applications should then be much clearer. You must use a revision of the Approved Timber Products List dated no earlier than when your Step 1 approval was granted. Disclaimer While considerable effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information provided in the Mullum Creek Approved Timber Products List, neither Mullum Creek nor the author accept liability for any consequences arising from reliance on the information published. If you have doubts about acting on any of the information, please seek independent professional advice. References : Askham, B. & Robertson, S. (2014) ‘In search of good wood’ Sanctuary no. 26
