The aim of this research was the development of an innovative, high quality and inexpensive modular system that does not exclude increased ecological standards.

This paper focuses on modular construction as an off-site production system, where a framework to compare waste generation of modular and conventional, in-situ construction methods is proposed

This paper explores the conceptual design for an upcycled shipping container building, which is designed as a carbon-smart modular living solution to a single family house under three design scenarios, related to cold, temperate, and hot–humid climatic zones, respectively

The research team collated extensive data on the design and build of 100 of the UK’s most noteworthy completed CLT buildings. With input from specialist engineers, contractors and key stakeholders this information has been structured into chapters which aim to provide designers, contractors and developers with the key information they require to begin their own journey with engineered timber.

This article introduces the composition and terminology used for platform timber frame building structures and describes the structural engineering checks which are required to verify the adequacy of the vertical load paths and the strength and stiff ness of the individual framing members

Architecture adapted to the new environmental situation. The study proposes a solution with a reversible construction system with low environmental impact materials, which ensure 100% reuse of the components.

This article presents some criteria aimed at improving the durability of wood outdoors, as a result of experience, diagnosis and actions carried out on a wooden pedestrian bridge.

This project aims to quantify the emissions related to the construction sector in Ireland and the built environment more generally

The purpose of this paper is to present a small modular building that can be a response to the energy crisis and Ukraine’s wave of refugees in Poland.

This report presents criteria that can be applied to furniture products via procurement exercises that may
directly or indirectly reduce their environmental impact.

The purpose of this study is to get efficient home needs from modular panel houses at
low cost and have a comfort factor and describe the design of the modular panel type house.

Assessment of the environmental impact of toxic compounds within fire effluents with the help of the bench-scale test.

Summary of a full experimental campaign aiming at investigating
the dynamic properties of a modular building developed within the “Energy
efficient LIghtweight Sustainable SAfe steel construction” (ELISSA) research
project.

Life Cycle Assessment of wooden houses in different areas in Europe.

This presentation describes the key challenges regarding possible innovations in the bio-based
building sector from the perspective of development in materials science and design concepts as
well as tools and services for improved facade management.

An article summarising the findings of research for natural weathering of wood.

Ireland’s National Waste Policy 2020-2025

Planning security and predictability of Sub-deck systems was analysed considering the rain tightness and aging effects.

The document is about strength grading of timbers used for structural purposes.

Designers can considerably extend the life of timber components by attention to detail.

This document summarises the results of research projects and practical building experiences from the use of cross-laminated timber up to building class 4 from the view of building physics.

After decades of research the tall / multi-storey buildings are safely constructed with massive timber structures and they compete directly with high-rise concrete and steel.

How engineered timber materials can create sustainable construction with a number of advantages compared to typical construction materials

Revolutionising the oof-site manufacturing procedure

A case study where LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) and CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) work together in modern building proving the flexibility of the design having smaller cross-sections for beams & columns.

A case study that proves that the wooden structural elements can resist fire and fight climate change.

An investigation was conducted into temporary modular housing for use in disaster areas to assess the feasibility of energy independence. Flexible modular units have been proposed as a temporary housing solution in disaster areas, as they can be deployed in combination with energy units across a wide range of environments

The use of the CLT systems and their role in facilitating a more liveable city with better models of housing.
