SUSTAINABLE BUILDING

WE’RE PROUD BUILDERS
OF AMAZING SUSTAINABLE
PROJECTS
Sustainability
Sustainability and efficiency have been in our founder’s blood right from the start. After staring WoodPecker, he very soon implemented a “Zero Waste Policy”. Through optimization of timber lengths and cross sections processing, reusage of cut offs, protecting products from the elements, and sourcing from sustainable vendors and manufacturers, we are extremely close to that high level goal. In fact, when focusing on the timber and mass timber components, we literally produce zero waste. All shavings, small cut-offs that cannot be re-used and wood dust are pressed into wood briquettes and burned in a state of the art, fully automated boiler to heat our facilities. As a result, we keep approximately 150,000 kg per year out of the landfill.
For your project, this means cost savings and peace of mind that the work we do for you leaves the smallest environmental footprint possible.
One of the sustainable building projects that Woodpecker is very proud of is a small residential house we built in rural Alberta, called “The Confluence”. Being an LBC (Living Building Challenge) certified building, and was built under the world wide strictest limitations and regulations for sustainable construction. We planned and constructed this project together with SAIT (South Alberta Institute of Technology, Calgary) and only a handful of single residences have been built globally to that standard.
