About this event
Mass timber is a well known sustainable choice when it comes to building materials — but what about complex buildings, like super tall structures? The Council for Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) recently asked that very question and found that a steel-timber hybrid solution could provide the structural requirements on a complex building while advancing sustainability goals.
CTBUH conducted extensive research, examining 20 scenarios ranging from 1 to 40 stories, with 51 iterations of material combination which ultimately showcased the cutting edge of innovation in steel-timber hybrid buildings and the integral nature of conducting an LCA on these types of projects.
Join One Click LCA and CTBUH for this live Q&A session to learn how you can integrate a steel-timber hybrid into your project, and the best method for performing an LCA for your use case.

Hosted by
Dario Trabucco, PhD, architect, is a CTBUH Research Manager and Associate Professor in Building technology at the IUAV University of Venice, Italy. He is involved in teaching and research activities related to tall buildings, Life Cycle Assessment, and vertical transportation. In 2009, he obtained a PhD in building technology with a thesis entitled “The Strategic Role of the Service Core in the Energy Balance of a Tall Building.” This research examines the implications of alternative service core placement in relation to the embodied energy and the energy consumption of a tall building. Dario has been the CTBUH Country Representative for Italy since 2010, and in 2023 was appointed the role of CTBUH Europe Director.
Daniel Safarik is Director, Research and Thought Leadership at CTBUH, and has co-authored numerous of the Council’s Technical Guides and edited many more outputs. He has served as CTBUH’s Editor-in-Chief from 2013 to the present, and as the Director of the China Office of CTBUH at Tongji University, Shanghai, from 2015 to 2017, spearheading the Council’s efforts to expand influence and membership in China. Safarik has a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Northwestern University and a master’s degree in architecture from the University of Oregon.
Giovanni Perrucci, PhD is a Research Fellow at IAUV University of Venice, where he currently carries out research on two fields: a) LCA methodologies as applied to tall buildings; b) the accessibility of lifts for people with disabilities. Since receiving his PhD in Architecture in 2016, in his scientific work he investigates two strands: on the one hand, comfort and accessibility, used as methods for measuring the quality of inhabited spaces, indoors and outdoors; on the other, the use of nature-based elements to mitigate the effects of climate change in the city, a topic on which he was awarded a scholarship and a research grant at the Roma Tre University between 2018 and 2021. He is the author and co-author of several scientific articles on the topics of the environmental island, the city for the elderly and the universal design of lifts.
We make life cycle assessment easy so you can focus on decarbonising your buildings, products, and portfolio.
