"Today, attention has shifted to applications by architects, engineers, and OEMs for interiors, exteriors, and structures. The strength and efficiency of EBPs and SBPs—along with the positive carbon footprint of rapidly renewable bamboo—make it a suitable choice for high-performance buildings. Yet, adherents within the industry and the construction community have focused on how to design with structural bamboo products. The findings have included innovative architecture on the one hand, and on the other hand a raft of innovations in modularity, system integration capabilities, and installation techniques. The products are also engineered for a high degree of uniformity and consistency, ensuring tolerances within those required for building enclosures and structures."
“Our work initiated in 2007 of adding SEB/LVB into ASTM allows architects to specify Structural Engineered Bamboo for the first-time making SEB the first major new structural product added to the standard in over 35 years”. Stated ASTM’s DO7.02.03 Task Group Chairman, and Founder/CEO of ReNüTeq, Inc. Luke D. Schuette. Luke is the innovator behind SEB (Structural Engineered Bamboo) who is credited for creating the first Structural Beams for testing in 2003 in his family barn.
