Abstract

To keep environmental product declarations current, the underlying life-cycle inventory data and subsequent life-cycle assessment (LCA) data for structural wood products must be updated. This publication developed the cradle-to-gate LCA production of southeast composite I-joists aligned to the new ULE 2019 wood product PCR.
