ABOUT THE PRESENTER

Marie-Ève Laverdure CPI, Conseillère technique, CecoBois

Marie-Ève holds a bachelor’s degree in wood engineering from Laval University with a specialty in Timber structure. She also holds a technical degree in civil engineering, and she is currently working on a master’s degree in Wood and biobased materials engineering on characterization of glued-in rods in cross-laminated timber (CLT). Before starting as a technical advisor at Cecobois, Marie-Ève completed an internship in quality control and process improvement at Norbord Inc. She then went to perfect her technical knowledge in structural design at the Arizona State University in 2018. After that, she started at Structure Fusion where she worked for a year as an engineering intern. She is currently working with Cecobois on a new project called “Apprenons sur les bancs d’école” which aims to integrate more timber-related courses in architectural and engineering undergraduate programs in Québec.

ABOUT THE PRESENTATION

Gestimat facilitates the assessment of the carbon footprint of buildings. Developed in Quebec for the Wood Charter and financed by the Fonds vert, this new web-tool estimates greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to the manufacturing of structural materials used in different building scenarios. Scenario modelling can be done based on typical buildings or by entering quantities of materials specific to a given project.
