Welcome to the CWC Portal
Design Tools & Calculators
From electronic wood design tools to tips for home renovators and home buyers we work hard in providing you with the best tools and reference information. For almost half a century, the Canadian Wood Council (CWC) has been the trusted source of reference for the global audience of architects, engineers, builders, designers, and home owners who believe in the benefits of wood as a natural and renewable building material.
Are you interested in learning about the carbon benefits of your wood building? After inputting wood volumes, the tool estimates how much time it takes Canadian and U.S. forests to grow that volume of wood along with the associated carbon benefits – both the amount of carbon stored and the amount of greenhouse gas emissions avoided. Follow the instructions on each input tab of this easy-to-use calculator tool to find out the estimated carbon benefits of your building project.
