At the 9th Forum Holzbau Polska Conference, Dušan Milutinović, CEO of Acetra, shared valuable insights gained from designing complex CLT structures across Scandinavia and Europe.
The Scandinavian approach served as a powerful example of how wood could shape a greener, more resilient, and innovative built environment. This included using timber as a carbon sink to reduce the carbon footprint, leveraging prefabricated CLT panels for faster construction, and focusing on sustainability through responsible sourcing and circularity.
During his presentation on Acetra’s experience with Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) in the Scandinavian market, Dušan Milutinović shared a number of valuable insights drawn from real-world practice.
He addressed why acoustic requirements can often present significant challenges in mass timber projects, and discussed the most effective methods for supporting CLT slabs in multi-story structures—key considerations that directly impact performance, comfort, and safety.
The conference provided an incredible opportunity to connect with industry leaders, engineers, architects, contractors, and urban designers. Discussions centered on the latest advancements in timber engineering, architecture, and construction technology—with meaningful takeaways on optimizing CLT for better performance, efficiency, and sustainability.
