Here's a great video I stumbled across this morning. In it our friend Michael Green of Michael Green Architecture, along with a bunch of other folks involved in the project, talk about the benefits of using wood construction methods to build the (beautiful!) North Van City Hall.

It was produced by the folks at naturally:wood who are "a comprehensive information resource that brings together the latest, most reliable data about wood performance, green building and life cycle assessment, as well as British Columbia’s wide variety of forest products, manufacturers, sustainable forest practices, certification of forests, wood products and more".
Basically it's my understanding that they remind us why wood is awesome.
