CPC G06Q 40/10 (2013.01) [B27K 3/02 (2013.01); C09K 21/00 (2013.01); B05D 7/06 (2013.01); B27K 2240/30 (2013.01); G06F 16/27 (2019.01)] | 16 Claims |
1. In a prefabricated wood-building component factory for manufacturing prefabricated wood-building assemblies, a method of protecting carbon mass stored in wood materials contained in prefabricated wood-building assemblies, from the destructive energy of fire and release back into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide and/or other greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming, and estimating and tracking the quantity of carbon mass stored in each fire-protected prefabricated wood-building assembly, said method comprising the steps of:
(a) using lumber and/or wood materials to produce prefabricated wood-building assemblies along a production line within said prefabricated wood-building component factory, for use in constructing wood-buildings including prefabricated wood-framed buildings and prefabricated mass-timber buildings;
(b) within said prefabricated wood-building component factory, applying clean fire inhibiting chemical (CFIC) liquid to the surfaces of each said prefabricated wood-building assembly completed along a said production line within said prefabricated wood-building component factory, so as to produce a Class-A fire-protected prefabricated wood-building assembly that is inhibited from ignition by fire, flame spread and smoke development by inhibiting free-radical chemical reactions in the combustion phase of fire;
(c) using a carbon quantizing engine supported within said prefabricated wood-building component factory to estimate the quantity of carbon mass, measured in quantized fire-protected carbon units (FPCUs), and stored in each Class-A fire-protected prefabricated wood-building assembly by natural carbon sequestration when said lumber and/or wood materials were growing within one or more trees in a forest, from which each said Class-A fire-protected prefabricated wood-building assembly was made;
(d) generating and applying a unique machine-readable code for each Class-A fire-protected prefabricated wood-building assembly produced in said prefabricated wood-building component factory, wherein one or more of said Class-A fire-protected prefabricated wood-building assemblies are intended for use in constructing a fire-protected prefabricated wood building, selected from the group consisting of fire-protected prefabricated wood buildings selected from the group consisting of fire-protected prefabricated wood-framed buildings and fire protected prefabricated mass-timber building;
(e) recording in an information database supported on a wireless communication network, said quantized fire-protected carbon units (FPCUs) estimated by said carbon quantizing engine, and linked to said unique machine-readable code for each Class-A fire-protected prefabricated wood-building assembly, along with the time and date when, and location where Class-A fire-protection was provided to each said Class-A fire-protected prefabricated wood-building assembly;
(f) shipping said Class-A fire-protected prefabricated wood-building assemblies intended for use in constructing said fire-protected prefabricated wood building to a remote location for use in constructing said fire-protected prefabricated wood building;
(g) constructing said fire-protected prefabricated wood building using said Class-A fire-protected prefabricated wood-building assemblies; and
(h) after constructing said fire-protected prefabricated wood building using said Class-A fire-protected prefabricated wood-building assemblies, accessing said information database over said wireless communication network, and reviewing (i) the recorded information linked to said unique machine-readable codes associated with said Class-A fire-protected prefabricated wood-building assemblies produced in said prefabricated wood-building component factory and used to construct said fire-protected prefabricated wood building, and (ii) the recorded quantized fire-protected carbon units (FPCUs) and the time and date when, and location where Class-A fire-protection was provided to each said Class-A fire-protected prefabricated wood-building assembly used to construct said fire-protected prefabricated wood building.
