Long-lived timber construction products deliver a net biogenic carbon storage benefit over the building service life.

Under review — the register is reading the literature and will publish a conclusion once directional evidence has been indexed.

In plain terms

The published record broadly agrees with this. The evidence is still too thin to lean on for a decision.

This sentence is generated from the same numbers shown below — consensus share, confidence band and the number of indexed studies. Open any section to see exactly how it was reached.

Where the literature disagreesNo direct contradictions in the indexed pool

No direct contradictions in the indexed pool. That is not the same as agreement — it can also mean too few directional studies have been published to disagree yet.
