This has nothing to do with carbon footprint. They chose laminated wood for development cost reduction. Prefabricated parts require a lot less labor on site and can be put up a lot faster. This moves costs from the developer to the buyers, as they will have to do a lot more maintenance over the life time of the building. Said maintenance and repairs contradict the carbon footprint reduction claim if you consider the total cost of ownership.
